Still in the tunnel with hubby

[kjensen]

Hi Cyrena,
I do tend to forget the perspective of H re-navigating his teen years-they were very lonely for him. I needed that reminder.

Sometimes I am good about not taking my daughter's teen anst outbursts personally, but sometimes I do...and like when I take H's outbursts personally AND react, things deteriorate quickly.

I'm going to keep trying to see H as that lonely, unloved boy...helps keep perspective.

H did again critique how I said something today because the info I wanted wasn't the first question out of my mouth. I calmly asked him not to critique everything that I said-he moved into the other room and has been awkwardly nice to me the rest of the day. The girls and I left him and his cousin at home after our dinner to watch football- we went and saw the movie, "The Blind Side"-which I really liked...

We'll see how much affection/physical contact I get tonight. Not much this last week since Sunday..definitely a change compared to the every day sex I had for the last 5 months...really weird.

Tomorrow is the bowling/pizza dinner with H's HS/FB friend and her boys...I'm emotionally tire ust thinking about it!
