If you don't improve in these areas, your M will go into the same old patterns--a M on his terms. I recommend Boundaries in Marriage by Henry Cloud. CL
Hi CL, thanks for replying. I don't know, I'm beginning to wonder if it ever left that place. I think maybe I've been just fooling myself, thinking that he was coming around; seeing what I wanted to see. We're so different - we think differently, we do different things... That's what I'd told my IC in my first appt. And it just keeps coming back again and again. I told my H that I was going to go without him on my little road trip; but I'm starting to think maybe I should just stay away for a few days. Take some time to think.
I thank you so much for the book recommendation. I've looked into this book but I'm not a particularly religious person; don't know if it would be a good fit. But thank you anyways - I really appreciate your concern.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
