Okay gang, on Deb's advice I'm posting the following for your feedback.

I told (and shamefully admit it here in writing) that I was a little jealous of my sister poster whose H has just returned home and her H gave her a new ring to commemorate the event. It started me to thinking about how uneventful my Hs return home was.

I talked to Deb this morning about my needing some things from my H. So, I'm asking all of you to help me figure out how to get it.

I want:

Words of gratitude that I've allowed him to come home, that I stayed the course and let him go thru his 'crisis' and did not abandon him or our M.

I want a thank you.

I want WORDS of assurance that he's in this for the long haul, no matter what this time.

I want him to tell me he loves me FACE 2 FACE, not on the damn phone.

I want HIM to say he'd like a recommitment ceremony.

I want alot of things that I don't think he can or is willing to give me. And I want to not resent that fact so damn much.
