After 2 days of NC, H picked a fight with me at kid exchange this am. Interesting. I was too defensive in response but I apologized and he accepted it. He said that he sees I am trying. I told him that I know he's trying too, and he said thank you. He said that he will call the new MC next week and schedule our first appointment. He said we'll work on us, slowly but surely.
Patience, grasshopper.
Any suggestions for how to handle C? I know that I need to do a better job of listening and validating, but does that mean that I have to completely neglect my own needs for the time being? I can probably do that for a time, but in some ways I think my H will respond better if I am assertive -- he likes a strong woman and viewed me as emotionally "weak" pre-S. What do you think?
