Yes, I do find myself doing some soul searching... and I see you doing the same. I do think we are in the same boat, or school of fish or whatever they call it... I do wonder if our H's have gotten VERY comfortable... of course, I really don't see any comfort as far as my H is concerned.

Maybe you should not include H... not in future plans, not in what's going on with the kids... not the details, only the big chunks... I think it is just MORE detaching, in a bigger way. It does help me to keep my distance... be a friend, that's it.

I care about you, too, Betsey... and I do see changes happening in your sitch. MW is inching along (see Leftandnowhy's thread for an explanation) be it maddeningly slow. Maybe if you can turn up the uncomfort level... let him swim around alone for a bit... see how he likes those waters.


Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
