Hi Hope.

Although (x)W and I are only but a month into piecing, no it's not easy, and not a bed of roses all the time, but I don't think it's hard. I think what is helping us survive our backslides so far is a mutual respect for one another in terms of monitoring our lines of communicaiton.

Already, I've slipped a couple of times on some 'old habits', but quickly regrouped and made up for them and apologized. Like you say, there's more good stuff inbetween. She has too, but the same, makes up for them. We both know the consequence of letting those bad habits will get us if they become the norm again, so we know not to let that happen.

Maybe you and your H are spending too much time together this soon? What's the anger and tension about?

I'd love to spend more time with (x)W but not like that, not yet. We are speaking of living together again, however I've set that at a time line of 6 months away at least.
