lots going on with you- i just was reading aorund- i wish you a ton of luck & success in your journey up from mlc land.. i agree that the effort is important. i'm happy for you to see it- feel it
i'm wondering as i read your posts if my h being pleasant and less critical and awful is effort for him or just something that came from his not having to hide what he's doing- feeling, etc.
if it's a relief to be "found out". it's nicer to be around- it doesn't (unfortunately) change anything. i guess it's just spill-over of his relief huh? you sure have patience and commitment. i don't know how you manage and continue with such good spirits and "grace"?. most days i figure it's a matter of time til i just disappear from lack of encouragement and affection.
oh well huh? glad to read your posts and see something positive out there -
