Hi Wifey, Long time no see! I'm glad that YOU are getting out and doing good stuff for yourself, even if H is his same old crummy self. A couple of thoughts ran through my head as I read the stuff above:

It's a shame that H doesn't get it - 2 independent people is the BEST formula for a happy relationship. Think about it - the alternative is two dependent people... The trick is, being a HAPPY independent person in a relationship. I think you could master that trick. H, not so much.

Puppy's words really made a bell go off in my head - because when I hear YOU talk about H, the message I hear is "I love him but I am not in love with him." Maybe it's time for you to drop a bomb of your own, hon. Just how long are you willing to live like this?
(((hugs)))
