GOOD for you YOU LIS!! I think that all sounds perfectly reasonable. Bravo!

I hope that he will agree to the counseling too...

LIS... you and I are alike here for sure. My W would love for me to talk more, but I'm just a believer in less is more if you know what I mean. It is awkward for me to force myself to talk when I don't feel that I really have anything to say. I'd much prefer to listen to my W... that's funny though since I apparently wasn't able to do that very well in our M... A little out loud thinking there. Sorry.
