Interesting thread.

I always worked outside the home but at times I think it worked against H and I because sometimes I think we were a bit competitive about it. We work in a similar field. At times I was very opinionated about his job when I probably should have just listened (actually, I know I should have, he's told me as much).

I think the confidence piece is so important. While I was confident at work there's a lot at home that I'm not confident about. We brought this huge, beautiful home a couple of years ago and while I love it it really kind of overwhelms me. I think at times I annoyed H because I was always depending on him for house things when I could probably easily deal with some stuff myself. Anyway, just thinking about needing to build up my self-esteem today and I think taking on more house tasks, especially with H gone, would go a long way. I seriously need a personal organizer.
