Men are funny creatures like that. We tend to process alone and think things through.

That's why I suggested the innocuous plans. Something non-threatening. It's working on the marriage in a subtle way. Of course there's going to come a time when you both will have to openly look at the issues in the M and actually communicate about them.

In the meantime keep doing things for yourself. Keep building yourself a nice life.


Yep - probably still processing, for sure. I'm sure it doesn't help that I am still processing too. One day I'm thinking I need to have more patience with all of it and the next, I feel I should be more productive: that allowing things to continue as is will just cause a constant stream of more of the same. I mean, why should he change anything if he doesn't have to, right? Yet, maybe - as some suggest - it's too soon to expect him to feel good enough about the R to actually start working on it.

I ask myself - isn't HE tired of living like this too??? Doesn't he want a partner and the good times back??? (Thats rhetorical, of course.)
