Being me, when we are discouraged it's because what we are doing is not working. It's good that you've stopped telling him how unhappy you are, more of the same never goes anywhere. What 180's have you done lately? Any GAL activities on the go? We all need to drop the rope sometimes and get a fresh perspective on things but then we pick it back up and keep on keepin' on. You are indeed an incredibly loyal person and deserve great respect from all of us for your diligence and ability to hang in there. I think I may have mentioned once before a book called "How To Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It", it might be worth a read and it's also Michelle approved! Btw, I believe the Buddhists would say "abandon all hope" as hope keeps us tied into what's missing rather than what is there. Tonight, while walking through the park, I made a list in my head of all the wonderful things I have in my life rather than focusing on what is not there, that being a romantic R. I have so many amazing, wonderful things to be thankful for and I can bet so do you! Hang in there and, if all else fails, resort to kicking ass and taking names! \:\)
