We both recognize we had very little support in the former R. And I think we need to build that up - as well as do what you said - work as a couple.
I'd like to build a couple friendships, community, church, maybe do Retrouvaille (or however you spell it).
I didn't tell my IC. I had quit therapy two months ago - but I'm afraid to tell her honestly. I think she'll think I'm "backsliding" and ... well, I think I'm actually making progress here.
I want to manage my emotions, listen to him, learn his love language, communicate my needs, be okay with "no," have good boundaries, be fun to be around and happy with my life.
