They never take responsibility for their portion and even if your marriage was perfect, he would say that you were at fault for it being perfect. Take what he says w/a grain of salt. Work on those areas that you know you may have been "slack" in.


I have to pay attention here for sure. Fear has affected so much as certain issues should have been dealt with earlier. I do take ownership.

Please take care of yourself. Try to keep the focus on you.


h has come to me several times since R talk this AM. my head is spinning. he 'took back some', said it was "a bit much he knows" I do think on some level he is concerned but he has 2 think of where he can go as well ($$).
I went for a brief walk as parent was napping (!?) & QUIETLY RETURNED. H found me! Again trying to explain - which I acknowledged. Told me I cud relax w/him in his room. Told him I needed to wind down, Im sure u understand" I wasn't angry, & he hasnt been since the R talk - however I just needed a break from the frequent "this is whys, & you dids"... & the intensity of it all.

Thanks again job,p
