"Labug men really are different. We either want to fix it or have sex with It. We a re really primitive machines unlike females who are brighter and more complex"

Rick- I really love how you threw a compliment in there for us women smile

The rest of the day/night went off without too much trouble. We all went out to dinner and my 18mth old decided that he DID NOT want anything to do with sitting and/or eating dinner... I spent most of the meal in the car with him until he passed out, then my H relieved me so I could eat something. We (H, me and my BIL) watched another movie together and had pina coladas- I hardly ever drink but I figured I deserved one after the news I got today at the doctors. I went up to go to bed first, but I found myself on this board checking in one a few friends.
**A 180 from my H: He came up to go to bed, but he checked on me first. He said that he knew I would be focusing on this new issue for a while and he was able to calm me down and give me some positive focus. I saw this is a 180 because in the past month, he has never reached out to me out of concern** We talked a little more and he opened up to me about some things that were bothering him about his brother. **My 180- I just listened and didn't interject, give advice or ask questions. I just tried to validate/acknowledge his feelings. This is a 180 for me because he's always complained that he never gets to 'vent' because I would always direct the conversation to a solution or more information** He left my room with a nice: "good night." I felt really good about this simple conversation. Even though it felt like something friends would talk about - I'll take it! I told another DBer that we should work on rebuilding the friendship first before rebuilding the lover relationship... I guess I'll have to take my own advice on this one. BUT it really hard not to get excited and think that it means anything more than that.

Happy Holidays to Everyone!! Hope you find a friend or family member to spend it with!
