This morning feeling a bit hungover sadly...glad that I was able to have a somewhat normal night, though it's still not the same as being home. Nonetheless, if this is what could save our marriage, it is worth every moment.
Daisy--yes I DEFINITELY want to avoid R talk at all costs. So far (well meaning yesterday) by changing the subject and/or just agreeing with him, it's worked decently well on IM anyway. I'm more concerned about the in-person time coming up. I know I shouldn't tell him not to talk about things, but I will do my best to create a positive atmosphere between us, and to give space at every opportunity so that maybe he doesn't feel the need to bring things up.
Opt--I do believe that H has some major depression issues, even though he says he isn't depressed anymore. I think he is still seeing a psychotherapist, so this is a good thing. He is also painting, and working out every day. Personally I would like to see him on medication, but this is not something I can say to him, especially since he thinks he is not depressed. Glad you read happy_again's threads. I also think they should be required reading. Reading them I felt like it was my H talking. The good thing of course is watching him come around!
Will post later if something interesting comes up...
