Corri, thanks, as usual. Keeping the anger under raps yet expressing emotions is the key, and that's not easy for men. Not laying blame is tricky, too because when you say, "I'm feeling hurt and lonely," your spouse may hear , "You have hurt me and abandoned me." I find with my W that I have to make sure she's prepared and I need to speak very sweetly. As soon as she starts to feel defensive, it's over.
Aquarian, I'm glad things are going well for you and your H. Thanks for the kind words.
