Wow, Jackie!!!! This sounds so good. It is hard when they don't want to talk about things - especially if you're someone who deals with things by talking them out. You are doing a great job of noticing behaviors that need adjustment, and making changes when necessary. Remember - baby steps in all areas.

Climbing mountains in Switzerland!!!! That is something to be proud of!!!

Hang in there. I agree with rj - overall things sound good. Patience.

I didn't realize that you and I and our H's are the same ages! Funny!
