I started the Gottman book in August 2011, after our big problems started the first time. I remember reading about the mortal sins and had the same thoughts as you, and also that there was no hope for us based on our behavior. Things did get a little better after that, but here we are again. I don't think I ever finished the book.

Glad you can spend some time in your own bed. It will be interesting to see how H is towards you while he is gone and the reaction when he gets back.
