Good Morning all and Happy New Year!

I know I always have a need to fix things. THis, my H, our marriage cannot be fixed by me. I haven't posted in a few days because I have been thinking a lot about EVERYTHING and of course, with work and trying to keep busy, I have been a little down.

Rollercoaster is definitely the cycle of an MLCer.

My H is definitely depressed, confused, unsure, etc. After his R talk with me on Friday, he confirmed Saturday morning that he is depressed, was optimistic, doesn't know what he wants, doesn't have friends or anyone to talk to, and is just just plain unhappy. I told him that I was sorry he felt that way; we ended our brief conversation and I went to take a nap. I GAL'd later that day, after telling my H that I was going out for a while shopping. He called several times and when I got home, he tells me that he now realizes that "he needs to make himself happy." I am confused!

The next morning, he gets up and works out, drafts shopping lists for household projects and goes to the hardware store and comes home with about $500 dollars in materials. He spent Sunday and part of Monday doing household repairs and ccompleted projects that he started but stopped doing after he returned home. What is going on? It seems so strange to see this person who has been sitting watching TV every night and weekends transition to the person I remember - he has been more active in the last three days than he has been all summer and fall!

He even planned and shopped for dinner last night without expecting me to do it! This is just strange. I haven't bugged him or nagged at all since the R talk on Friday. Is this saying something?
