What the...?

Thanks chl, I think I was letting fear of something new rule my emotions!

On the M front, things are going very well and seem to be improving every day. H has been sending me little text messages every morning (so I get them on my first break at school) telling me how proud he is of me, how much he loves me, have a great day, etc. When we have moments where we get annoyed about something, we are 100 times better at dropping it for the moment and then talking about it in a way that doesn't cause problems and then it is over. Even better, on the rare occasion that we handled problems this way in the past, it would be hours (or days) before we could discuss it calmly no matter how small of an issue. Now, we can talk within a few minutes, see each others perspectives much better and laugh/joke about it.

School is going to be tough and time consuming and is the only thing I could foresee causing an issue this year - not outright but just in lack of time together which has been a big issue over the years. Instead of ignoring this, I talked to h about it the other day. We plan coffee/time together where we talk first and then he quizzes me on my work so we can accomplish two things. We even picked 4 days a week where we will have sex whether we want to or not (haha). This was my idea because I am falling asleep almost as soon as I get into bed where before I would be awake for an hour or two. Stole the idea from some R book I read at some point, so far it's great!

I really believe we are making positive changes in our relationship and we both continue to make positive changes within. I should probably start a new thread in piecing...don't feel like I have too much to say about our M right now though so the little time I have on here, I like keeping up with other peoples progress!
