Thanks Jack,

Now I see that when I bring up $, I am never friendly or relaxed. That is something that I can control and change, so I'm going to try and do something different the next time I bring it up.

It's hard for me to see his side because finance and budgets are my thing (work) and it comes very easy to me. He hasn't expressed any problems with the way I'm handling the finances or shown me any willingness to get involved.

I think I'll think about this tomorrow.

Positives:
We are planning a weekend away for just the 2 of us. A sweet friend has offered to take care of the kids for a weekend so h and I can "reconnect."

He started to clean the garage yesterday WITHOUT ME HAVING TO ASK!

He's here.

He tells me he loves me.
