It doesn't sound petty - this has been a very very long journey for you. But - listen to yourself.....read what you have written. Don't let yourself fall back into the same pattern of following his lead. Try pushing a bit....he wants to make you a priority.......help him do that. I guess what I'm saying is maybe it's time to demand a little more. If he is SO busy and has another out of town trip that he must make - invite yourself along! My fondest memories of H and I together were when we went "away from it all."

Time to "so something different.................."
