Out of frustration I didn't send my H a goodnight email last night. This morning I woke up to 3 emails from him, one asking about the missing email and two regarding paperwork that needs to be sorted out for me to move there. All 3 pleasantly surprised me.
I replied to the paperwork email but didn't bring it up aside from that. Out talk today wasn't the happiest, it was mostly about his frustration with his work and life. I validated, validated and validated but the mood wasn't getting any better - I wonder if that's what should be happening. Before I used to be really upbeat and optimistic and just tried to cheer him up which rather made him feel invalidated, but now that I concentrate on validation I wonder if I'm not leaning too far the other way, not being cheery at all.
Anyone?
