I agree, I do have a tendency to exaggerate my needs to do things right away. I also deal with a lot of anxiety that I'm trying to battle through in IC. I feel an urgency to finish my work or my world will collapse. It's difficult battling my anxieties but I agree with your idea of quietly showing husband my new habits.
Today I'm dealing with mixed emotions. Has anyone felt these? My husband has been away for more than a week, and returning today. He says he wants to talk today after work. (I'm sure that'll be good). The stress of when he's here and having to deal with his hurtful talks makes me almost want him to give him the ok to get out of our apartment. I know based on the veteran advice on this website I shouldn't encourage that, so I guess I'll just vent it here. I want our marriage to work, but I don't want him here sometimes. It's very stressful. I felt relieved while he was gone.
