Thanks goodman. I needed that!

Being, u don't need to catch-up w me. It is a long thread, just kump in. It is standard WAW fare.

I'm sure you know all of this already, but I just wanted to make sure that your H understands what he is doing wrong. I know that I didn't understand until it was too late. My W never told me, I read about it in a book AFTER she blew-up in January.

We all put our thought and feelings on this site, but did you ever really sit down and have a heart to heart with your H? H, you know that I love you and I really want to have a deeper emotional connection with you, bit I am struggling with that because I feel you are invalidating my feelings. When you say "don't worry about it" it makes me feel (however you feel). What other issues are there? Tell him. Maybe u already did IDK.

I thought my M was pretty good. W would nag a little, bit nothing major. Never had a sit down as above and then a major blow-up. ILYBNILWY. Looking back, it seems like it should have been so easy. I wanted and still want to give her what she needs, I just didn't understand what that was and she never told me or asked until it was too late.

All I am saying is don't make the same mistake.
