Thanks Dia for keeping us updated! Great to hear about how you guys are fitting in all these important discussions during the day without making it a big deal. The assertiveness thing is interesting. H has become much more assertive now. I'm sure he'd assume I'd be upset about that but honestly I like this new quality - him not being that way was an issue for us for years! I'm a strong woman and I need a man who can be strong but kind (not a jerk of course.) We also had a vacation discussion shortly after the bomb that sounds very similar to yours and resolved in a similar calm way.
I'm really grateful that I am having all these opportunities to "try a different way" with so many small conflicts because he hasn't moved out yet....but not letting it get me over hopeful....I just don't know what is going on in his mind!
