So happy to hear about your day. It sounds really positive. I know that things aren't 100% where you want them to be yet, but at least you are having regular counseling sessions, and your H is willing to open up to you both in the sessions and outside of them. My advice, for what it's worth (based on what Jody had told me originally) is to be careful not to use the counseling session as the venue to air your own grievances. Now you might be in stage 3 (I guess you would know that best), in which case you probably can start discussing what you want and need. If your H is still on the fence though, my feeling is that it would be better to use the session to continue to show your H how strong you are, and how much you value his feelings and can listen to them.
Anyway I see a lot of hope and positives in your situation Daisy.
Good luck tomorrow!
