Update.. still in limbo. Had an OK week, kept busy with kids activities, jogging and soccer.
....
Please help! I need some advice. Not sure what to do next. I am getting pretty fed up. I have tried so hard to stay positive all week long and STILL all I get in return from H is that I am doing everything wrong.
I guess the only observation is to stop looking to H for validation. If you can find self-validation, then that is good. Pay attention to your H to see what is working, but do not look to him for validation that things are OK.
Since H is living with you, what is his love language? and then do this to help keep the connection between you two. This was the advice of my DB coach in my sitch.
Also, remember that progress will take months, not days or weeks. Keep it up!
