Thanks cadet
I read posts by hearts blessing which are very helpful to me. I have been praying everyday for guidance and this is very good.

Today is our 23rd anniversary and I made reservations to have dinner. I asked him first if he wanted me to and he said yes. Should I get a card or just leave it to dinner and small talk?

One other problem in our marriage is rudeness by him. He has been better but if I am in his way he will say "move" or " you're always in my way" He would also say I HAD to do something like mail bills etc. When I ask him to be polite and say please and excuse me he says "I should'nt have to do that. These things have to be done and you're home more than me." This really bugs me but since the rules are different in MLC, should I let it go? I always used to complain about it.

He also gets mad if I am late but the last time I asked him to be home so we could go out to dinner before we had to drive across town for retrouville follow up, he was very late because he went to workout but came home first, and I was in the basement. He did not call out for me or call me on my phone which I have asked him to do if I am not on the main floor. He said he thought I went for a walk. Sometimes I think it's passive aggression on his part.

I absolutely believe he depressed. I go from feeling compassion, to mad to sad bout all this.
