Julia,

thanks for stopping by my thread today \:\) So many exciting things happening in your life! Good job hob-nobbing with royals at the hospital!!!

I really enjoyed essie's post to you. I read your big post on how to respond to the weird text about the car, and I am with essie on this one. I am sensing a lot of emotion too... is it mostly that you feel he is treating you cr@p? or is it something else too???

I can see how this, if I were in your situation, would push me to explode or push him--("don't text me unless you have something REALLY NICE TO SAY to me, SCUMBAG!") but I think essie's approach would be more effective in the long run for a) helping your H feel like he can come to you and b) maintaining your dignity.

Big hugs to you, jUlia!! and also, a piece of pumpkin pie!! (NO MINCEMEAT)

love,
T
