Claire, I have RBF (resting bitch face), too, but ONLY when around H. I also wear my thoughts on my face which has always served me poorly when playing poker. Facial expression if HUGE for me, too. I can say, "I understand" or "That must be really hard" but my face says, "really? this is an issue for you? could you be more of a child?"
Gotta stop that NOW!
We share the same affliction.
You can do this! and when you get to a better place with H you can have a talk about it. I have with my H and now he gets it.
But I also had to work diligently on taking each conversation at face value and not dragging my story into it. I created much of my own unhappiness.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
