Again, welcome back. Ironic, because when I awoke this morning, I was thinking of how self-indulgent I had been lately with all the strange and rapidly moving developments in my sitch. As a result, I started thinking of who I could help on the bb with any insights I've gained recently, and you came to mind first!
Then I come to your page and see you've been feeling self-indulgent a little too!
Anyway, here's the suggestion. If you don't have it already, IMMEDIATELY go out and get the book "The Relationship Cure" by John Gottman.
I've been working through it this week and it's as if every light in the house is being turned on finally. It's not a crisis-management book; rather it explains the building blocks to an emotional connection.
Knowing how you're constantly striving (and succeeding, I might add) at strengthening your bond with your H, well, you naturally came to my mind.
