GM, thanks. Selling the house really has opened up very, very positive communication with my W. I am seizing this opportunity to show her the changed me. I am listening to her, valuing her, thanking her for her efforts, etc. I can see things improving. I agree that selling the house has lifted that burden for my W.
What's new with you and your sitch GM? Keep strong with the patience. You really seem to have a great understanding of what to do to help the sitch with your W. I would say to continue more of the same.
