I also read ILYBINILWY. It opened my eyes. The author talks about what every couple goes through over the years in the relationships. I did recognize a lot of similarities in my M. I wish my H read this, it would help him to understand that our situation is not unique and there are ways to improve and even to renew the M. According to the author there are 6 stages of a relationship. I think we almost made it to the last stage, which is called Renewing, and this when the couple “have come full circle”.
