how do you get over NOT knowing when they are being sincere or not???
By keeping in mind that they are confused, and hurting, much as we are. No one gets married with the idea that they are going to ruin their marriage.
We tell people not to believe anything they say and only half of what they do as a defense mechanism: so you don't drive yourself crazy obsessing over what this comment means, or what it meant that they didn't answer your email.
You should know your husband well enough to be able to figure out at what point they are not just venting or saying whatever comes to mind, and are talking earnestly about the R.
