[quote]I don't know about the yard. I don't care. Really, I don't. There is no grass to mow or worry about. I won't be living there past next year. So if he is going to do something about it, it is his problem.
NM, this attitude is SO GREAT and SO IMPORTANT for yourself! You've come a looooonnnngg way, girl!
Who cares about the stupid yard? That's just deflecting, and WH will see right through it. You're not trying to "win him back", but you're also NOT trying to make a b***h out of yourself when you never were before. Under a really tough set of circumstances, you're keeping your head and doing awesome.
With the clear caveat that advice is WAY easier to give than to take, I'll say this: If WH is stewing in a bit of nostalgia at the moment, let him! And if you are, let yourself! But don't start to swap the business aspect of getting a D in for all the emotional fallout.
Sorry, CG - I don't mean to disagree with you! Just seems like the yard isn't worth starting a debate over, especially if it's not causing NM angst.
BUT--I couldn't agree more with CG that you have major stuff going on and you should give yourself a break on the occasional crying jag.
