These are the toughest for me! When we went to lunch H shared and I had to reeeeeally concentrate...this is an area of which I have a major challenge.

Thanks for stopping by my thread. I'm keeping tabs on your situation. <3


That is where I have a lot of learning to do as well! I am so used to defending my point, and I think that has really hurt my marriage. I think it is the reason for him closing himself off to me. Pretty hard to feel connected to someone when you can't even talk to them! Hopefully I can improve how I communicate with him and that he will eventually feel he can come to me to talk about things.
