Pup- I don't think I'm going to need to threat to walk, but I will if it is what it takes to make things happen. And, I, like Nocode said, spoke the truth in love.
Kett- What you said about not wanting to feel responsible for intensifying my h's self-doubt is spot on.
Nocode- I think that's a good reminder.....keep working on helping my h feel respected and allow him to build his self worth. My life is one big succession of baby steps....I'll keep walking. Please don't use my name in the posts, Nocode.
Kat- My H and I both read the Love Language book way before the A. I honestly can't remember what we found out. Time to revisit that. I do know that he likes to SHOW love by doing things for me, and that is great, but I don't feel it from him doing that very much.
