I caught up on the last couple of days of your posts. You are handling yourself so well....such grace and strength.
Sorry about the hugs/kisses thing. My H does the same thing, and I keep gently pushing it. I should take your coach's advice and just lay off. (Although, in my sitch, we're still in the same bedroom and still having $*x....so it seems really screwed up to not hug...)
Anyway, when I read your posts, I admire you so much. I'm learning some good lessons from you on how to behave better. I had a HORRIBLE week where I went right back into hissy fit, crying, yelling woman (I think it's hormones, but still! ugh!)...so I came to read your stuff and get back on track.
And, one of my S's is the same way on the hugs, so I just joke about it....get a smile out of him. At least your son does know that you love him. You seem to be doing a great job at explaining things to your S.
