New to piecing

[dragonflie]

Thanks for checking in on me. I have been meaning to post. Time is hard to come by here! Things are improving. We have discussed some of the things we need to- like finances. Even though he hadnt said anything, he assumed we would at some point have a joint account again, and we probably will, later. I asked him to transfer a set amount into my account each month for me to pay joint expenses with and he agreed. He will have his own money and I will have my own money, so I think he will be happier with that... not having to ask me before buying things. I have no intentions of helping him pay off his big bills he didnt pay while he was gone. I hope this doesnt cause problems for us.

I am letting go of most of the bitterness I was harboring about his spending....and leaving me and all that stuff.
I am praying a lot, we are doing a devotional together most nights....and I am learning to not say everything I think!!

we are encountering some of the old problems with him jumping in when I am already dealing with my daughter. At least he is aware, after the fact, that he did it.
I feel that he is committed, but feels very reserved and cautious.

WE came close to arguing the other night.... he was very defensive and getting that mean "tone".
But, we worked it out.

I am re-reading parts of DR along with other books and trying to continue to change and maintain the positive changes.

I will ck in on your threads!
