Thank you to all who are responding. You are confirming what my instincts tell me to do which is to make sure I feel comfortable that we can both be honest with each other and share what we feel with far fewer eggshells. We spent so much time in that delicate dance in our marriage - bottling up what we were afraid to say. We're both making progress but we still do it too much for me to feel comfortable that we won't simply regress.
