Isn't that the truth....how long until you stop being the doormat to save your marriage...

Also forgot to fill you in Trent, I gave what you said a go this morning...
He woke up and I gave him my affection...and he wasn't giving me much back. So to make a confusing story short...I didn't feel reciprocation and therefore unfelt myself pull back and quit following him around the house like a puppy. This urged him to give me a little more. He asked me to come sit and have breakfast with him stuff. So it seems to work. I can still show him my changes without sitting on his face an getting nothing back.

Update....he called me from the hardware store and was joking around askig who i was....I answered his wife...he asked which one....i told him his favorite and he laughed. Was nice for a minute of normalcy. We joke like this alot. We went out or lunch today with the boys and it was nice. We talked about house things...normal things. He needs to fix a few things so we discussed that. We talked about my school and his schedule and how we are going to work it. Was nice.....

Taking it in stride.
