NM-- The reason I don't post on my own thread is that I'm doing quite a bit of DB phone coaching these days and she advised me not to solicit external advice right now since I'm in such a tenuous spot with my hubby - and I think her advice is a good thing. (YAY, JODY!) BUT - I totally hear ya on learning from family tradition that divorce (you know, the legal stuff) doesn't solve anything! AND - I think you've observed some truly positive changes in your interactions with your DH/WH lately.
I know this is speculation, but maybe DH is stressed b/c he's anticipating changes to a situation he now likes and so he's acting in such a way as to come out ahead of the curve, so to speak. I mean, if you were really done with each other then it would be your problem (and yours alone) to figure out how to change the schedule once you went back to work. Like, he wouldn't have to be the one to bring it up...
I'm not suggesting anything. Just saying that when someone is showing concern about the future, let them do that (as you have!). And when you're ok in your own situation, don't talk yourself - or let anyone talk you!!!!!! - out of it.
I'm still pulling for you guys and I think you have a much better chance to see this through than most of us (because of YOUR unwavering resolve and constancy to purpose!). You go girl!
Sincerely, Mrs. A :-)
P.S. Another reason I'm not posting my own sitch is that I'm surely not making any friends on here - hahaha!
P.P.S. DH must be something really special. Mine is too!!!!!
