One other item...my husband told me yesterday that he is an angry person, he has been angry his whole life but I seem to bring it out in him. I just listened and did not say anything back.

I forgot something (my credit score) that he thought was important but I have a very difficult time remembering numbers and wrote it down but didn't have the paper with me. He told me that I should remember it because it's important and that I will never change. He said that I do the same thing with that that I do with everything else and treat it half-assed and don't follow through. Later at night we were looking at houses online and watching the tornadoes in the south (my sister lives there). It was calm and we talked normally to each other.

He bought me a cup of coffee yesterday morning and he has also been doing a little bit more around the house to help out.

He made a comment about how nothing is ever good enough for me a few days ago and that he knows I am stressed and feel like he has dropped everything in my lap. I told him that I really am thankful for all the help he has been giving me and it has been a tremendous help that I really appreciate and left it at that.

Another thing I thought about was a conversation we had a little while back and I told him I wanted to do whatever would make this work. He said that he needs to go get his own place then and than maybe, we will see. He said that he knew how I felt about him but that he needs a change.
