Optimist,
I have anxiety just reading this! What is wrong with me? I know H is a completely trustworthy man!

How do I continue to work on this? How do I feel better about myself? All of my C's have said, "you need to feel better about yourself." Well, no sh!t, but none of them has actually helped me figure out HOW to do it!

Last night was ok. I got a hair cut and shopped for Halloween stuff. H had band practice. I brought home dinner. H still seems to be in kind of a funk. He did lots of dishes & laundry on his days off. He gets depressed thinking about going back to work (He only works 4 days a week & not even 40 hours!). I don't know how to help...but at least I know that it is NOT me "causing" his bad moods b/c we have been getting along fine for the past 3 1/2 weeks. I'm not really counting the discussion about the basement/garage b/c we (I) handled it so much better than in the past. (Yes, I know that shutting him out wasn't the right thing to do, but at least I didn't lash out and cause a huge fight.)

but, I'm sure with more time...he'll come around more.
