thanks, CL. i appreciate you bringing this back to my attention. H still needs to be doing things, especially on the weekends. i've been traveling to where he works for the winter (about 100 miles from our home) and staying there through the week. we go out to dinner, together and with friends from work, four nights a week. i help him with running errands and cleaning, laundry, etc., and then get "dolled up" in the afternoons for our dinners out.
it's nice and he enjoys having me there. we've decided i will come home on thursdays now, and travel back on saturday afternoons so we can do something together on sundays and he's not alone all weekend. it's a compromise because someone has to return home to get the mail and take care of things while he's out of town.
we are talking about things so resentments don't build. i'm letting go of the small things and trying to focus on the positives.
it's getting a little easier every day. nothing is perfect and we all have faults and little irritations that we hope our spouses will accept and not focus on...
