I was really surprised Nell because I had forgotten I'd even sent it as it was posted in a batch with the others. It was a very pleasant surprise.
Last time when H and I made progress I felt it was based on me recognising his qualities, his efforts with the kids and his acts of service. Maybe, I was onto something, I just didn't keep at it without expectations! I will keep on this path now and test it.
In addition, I think H and I lost a lot of fun in our R, especially when I was ill and the period before when I was just too tired to do anything more than work and be a Mum. I have to think of ways to put more fun into things without pressuring. Perhaps our texts on saturday about the 'roots' were a small sign that we can still have fun with each other.
That's what db is anyway...finding ways which bring H closer. On I go!
