she also reaffirmed that I'm basically a positive person, but living with Mr. Grumps could make anyone unhappy.



I can relate to that!!!
I even started to wonder at one point if maybe I was depressed - although I couldn't figure out how I could be depressed when I didn't feel unhappy about anything except the way H was treating me! - when H started back on his antidepressants, I realized I'm perfectly happy and productive when I feel supported and loved, and am not dodging angry bullets all the time!
That was actually one of the biggest lessons I had to learn in all this - not to REACT to H's moods, but to let my good mood pull him up instead.
Do you think having MF in the house without him there also made H a little nervous/jealous?
