I LOVE the way you put your feelings into those statements, T2...Especially the "I'll TRY to be here for you...."
That's good because it's not a carte blanche "Do whatever you want..I'll be a loyal doormat forever!!!"...it's an honest statement, one that extends love, but not at any and all costs!!!
I get the feeling that the time just might be right for such an OR talk, Cath. Just from the statements your H has been making.
Now don't get your hopes up too high!!! But even if it lets him glimpse how things COULD be with you...well that's good!!
