Red, my H is a conflict avoider too. He is never mean and only brings up bad things about our marriage and myself when in R talk. I try to avoid that as much as possible. I don't see of speak to him much at all. He has pretty much abandoned D16 and that probably hurts the most.
I too worry he will keep everything inside and not ever work through his issues, but I've come to realize I can't do anything about it. I fear his pride will get in his way and he won't even admit he is wrong. Whatever!
I too have lost weight, which I'm down 69lbs. I started before the bomb, but H has never even mention how good I look. I think it is hard for him to even see it at this point. I feel great and get compliments all the time. Which is awesome for me. I didn't so this for him, but for me and I am staying on this weight loss journey for me.
Blessings!

When you forgive,you heal. When you let go,you grow. When you cry to God, you surrender. When you love unconditionally, you show others Christ's love.
