I've come to a new place with my H and somehow just knowing in my head I've changed how I relate to him seems to be changing him... not that I expect it to stay changed. (I expect that once he gets used to the new status quo, he'll go back to distant)
Anyway, I've decided to approach everything with H with compassion and love and detachment, and no games. That's that. It's who I am, and it is who I want to remain.
Just saying... be you. You are, I know, I'm just trying to shore up your resolve to stay you and be true to yourself.
