Mila, I share this little story with you, maybe to show just how scewed my MLCer view of the world is.
At the end of March I made a conscious decision to remove my kisses from the end of the texts I sent my husband (there was maybe ne a day and only about the children) - I know.... I know why was I still sending my love to him each text ...but I was back then and decided to stop. A few days later my husband stood in my hallway, near to tears one evening saying he felt their had been a serious deterioration in our relationship - it turns out he HAD noticed I'd stopped putting kisses on my texts and he was really upset and offended by it.
He has been a complete monster since too it has to be said - so I suppose I'm sharing this with you so that you are forewarned and therfore ready for when he notices any changes you make towards him and starts to change his behaviour towards you to get a different reaction out of you.
I think you should be the person you need to be with your husband - what he might do or how he might react shouldn't stop you being true to yourself.
I know you are a strong lady and very open to the learning this journey is throwing your way. You seem to have a good take the whole situation and your husband - nice balance!
