Thanks also for posting that today, I figured my page would be long buried by now and here it was right up front.
I had to just get away from here for awhile, plus life gets busier in the spring with sports, etc. I've been working parttime and just trying to focus on myself.
Some things have changed a bit I guess. We have kept on fighting. Finally on our anniversary, Thursday, we had a big fight and then started two days of emailing each other over whether we were going to get divorced.
H "is in disbelief" that all this is happening. He is finally starting to sound like a LBH. I think he's finally realized that trying to control me and force me back into the box I used to be in is NOT going to work. He has to actually listen and learn. Anyway, we are officially "trying to work things out." He gave me a card for mother's day that says he is ready to work on healthy marital goals.
So we'll see. I have some hope. He has to understand that those aren't just words though. And I have to say I'm not sure he is truly capable of empathy. But I am willing to try.
