Hi Tania, Thanks for stopping by my thread in Hopefulness a couple of times. I'm glad for you that you are piecing, but I guess you still have a lot of work to do. Did your H say why he wanted to try to work things out? It might help you to understand his motivation, and maybe find what you can build on.
I know you have to give H time and space to get over OW, but I don't think I could be understanding about the OW ring and a picture still in his briefcase. It's tough though, because he has to see her every day. If we get to piecing, my H will still see (denied) OW regularly because she is a rep. to his agency that he deals with.
Where in MD are you? Are you and H federal employees? Where? My H is, and I was until October when I quit to stay home with S. I need to re-apply soon. You can email me at nick1023@yahoo.com if you don't want to say here.
You're in a tough situation, but it seems like maybe you need to find some things to do to move it forward just a little bit at a time, without freaking him out.
