I completely understand what you are saying about all of "our" stuff feeling like its "his" stuff. I am having the same issue and it is hard overcome. Will have to think on it more. If you come up with something - please let me know.
Also, I am in your position of not seeing or even speaking to my H! It seems that it would make showing our improvements so much more difficult.
On the other hand....if they don't see us or talk to us, and we keep changing and improving ourselves .....when they do see us...it will shock the socks off of him!
That, I think, would be a good thing. For me the most frustrating thing is that H does not think our R can change...he cannot think beyond today's R........H thinks he has u all figured out! What better way to prove him wrong!
I am so happy that you had a good time last night! Well done, hopeful_cb!!!
Keep Positive and busy today! I am totally rooting for you.
Oh, btw, I think getting your own laptop is a brilliant idea!
A total 180! You have inspired me to work on some 180s.
