NewAmericanMom - sometimes its worth getting stuff out there even if it causes emotional reactions by both. I just had this discussion with my W this morning. You have to accept that in a M you're going to hear stuff that doesn't go down easy, however those converdsations are often a catalyst for growth, reflections, awarenss, new action.
If the other S can have enough patience to hear these things that they dont necessarily like, however realize that these are opportunities for growth and understanding of each other, then these are actually the best moments between you because they can be markers for where growth and understanding begin.
FWIW I think you and your H are flritng with being able to understand each other. He could have blown you off totally these past few weeks but doesn't appear to want that. Maybe outline a few things that you both can work on right now and keep it simple for a while longer.
