Teresa,

Tipper gave some great points. I was going to say the same thing.
Except mine would have rambled on and by the time you got done reading it you would have no idea what I was talking about. \:\) I am not as articulate as I would like to be.

Sorry I have not posted back yet but the family and me were in Ocean City for a few days of R and R. Now I feel like a need a vacation to recover from that one.

I do agree with Tippers Tip. You might want to try and do a couple of things yourself and see what reaction you get. You may even like it. If your not sure how, the guys at home depot or lowes will tell you what you need to do. I am pretty handy also, so I can give you some advice. Maybe if he sees that you are not going to wait for him to do things he would do things a little more quickly. A little reverse psychology. But........be happy doing it.

I sometimes wonder if us (the LBS) seem to willing to do or put up with just about anything to make our marriages work. Sometimes I think the WAS knows this and continues with the BS because they know that we will put up with it. I try to be a little different when it comes to stuff like this. I have told her yes I want this marriage to work but I want to be happy also and I flat out told her that I was not happy with the way things were going. Probably not the best way to DB.
Before all of this happened I was not really happy with what our marriage had become either. Now don't get me wrong I am happy that we are working on things but I am not going to accept just anything.

Okay.......I rambled enough.

Back to you...Your situation has become much better and you have a lot to be thankful for and I think things will sloooooooooowly continue to get even better. Be patient grasshopper and vent whenever you want!

Not all of us. I think there are alot of men on this site that would say the same about women. \:\)
