Seperated But Living Together

[AJM]

I think you should stop and look back at where you came from. I think you'll see definite progress in gaining that trust.

I think he knows you love him. I think he loves you. I think he's confused about his feelings and that he does not want to come back to the old you. He wants the new you though. He's just wary because he's not sure how long the new you will be around.

Take the time to be sure you're doing this for you. You never likely wanted to be a shrew, did you? Did you grow up saying to yourself, "Self? When I grow up, I really want to be a bit** to the man I love. If only given a choice, I'll be sure to underappreciate him and be sure to knock him about every chance I get because everyone tells me I'm a princess and he should respect that!" I doubt you had that conversation. I think he never thought you had.

He's watching. He's paying attention. He's hurt deep down and can't understand all of it. It confuses him. He sees you change. He's not sure he can trust it though because that might hurt even more. He can't stand to be hurt any more.

Gain his trust. Be the woman you always wanted to be. You are doing that and it's having positive effect for both you and him, right?

Stay confident and stay positive. You're doing great.
