Hi talitsa, Just caught up on your previous thread ... what an interesting and entertaining read.
Quoting talitsa from previous thread: I think the long-haul stuff will not come so easy for us...changing bad habits in our R, learning how to argue constructively, fighting the urge to isolate and shut down when we feel vulnerable, and communicating better.
After reading about your last week culminating with your talk on Sunday, it seems you've found alot of what works towards reach your long term goals. Maintaining the level of communication that you have achieve on Sunday and work towards making it safe for both of you to broaden that level of communitcation to sharing other thoughts about R (not just OW) should avert those urges you mention and past misconceptions.
You've learned to bridge the gap ... now its a matter of crossing it daily.
