Hi, Meghan,

My H blew up the "there's been a lot of tension between us" as though we were just not getting along rather than I was having trouble getting past his affair and he wasn't making amends. Considering what a huge part of their lives they've exploded, I guess it's a big responsibility to flat out say "I discarded you like worn out socks" so they have to say "We weren't happy."

I resent getting credit for him walking out too.

Your H sent a long reply! And you sound like you're putting less pressure on yourself to make your emails sing and dance?

If he's not excited about his job and he's only doing it because he has to, he's not having an awesome life. He's facing the reality that grown-ups don't sleep till three in the afternoon. It will take him a while to sort out how that fits with the other mistakes he's made.

Hope you're doing all right...
