i understand what u are saying, but i have taken many approaches with my husband and being friendly and playful is best.

and believe me, i know when to be playful and when not to be.

at the times when things between us are ugly (a few weeks ago), playful was not something i could or would do. it would have been total pressure and pursuing.

my h wants attention, wants to be needed and loved. is what he is doing right? no.

but i want him to enjoy being here and being with me. there are things that were lacking between us, on my end, especially after our son was born.

so i try to incorporate them now between us, when i see him warming up to me.

my biggest mistake was not enforcing boundaries when he was home.

that is something i must do if we do indeed work things out.

i will not allow him back home without certain things in place.
