You make a lot of sense, and I appreciate your help here. You are right--the scrapbook is for my baby, not my marriage. I have to start living with more of that attitude. I have asked my family to be more accepting of my decision to try to save my marriage and asked them to reach out to my husband just to let him know they don't hate him. So far, they are not receptive. In my opinion, if I can work on forgiveness and still love him, they have no reason not to. I know they want what they think is best for me, but I'm the one living with this, so I need that respect from them. I've definitely had to stop talking with them about things as much as I was b/c it was only making things worse. Today is my WAH birthday and I've asked my family to tell him happy b/day, but I don't think they have or will. Thanks again, you've been helpful and insightful.
