Hey NCU,

A thread is a series of posts like Pin's "ow I'm Walking Away. Part4" I like your questioning because although you may not see it I can and I am sure others a shift in your attitude.

You know M is a difficult state because we are all our own unique individual with our own set of boundaries, levels and tipping points of emotion. Somehow during the course of your and your H's M and might add everyone else's M here on the site ... the balance in your M as you saw it did not coorelate to the way your H saw the balance.

Hypothetical...maybe the nurturung, affection, and loving attention that you might have given your H felt soficating and smoothering to him; or the autonomous freedom that you might have given your H to "be his own person" might have felt like neglect to him. Who knows...However, somewhere in the course of our M's communication was taken for granted and although we and our spouses were headed in the right direction we started taking different paths at a different pace and eventually derailed our M's.
