I think I will look into getting my Scottie some training. He so independent! I love him though and I love dogs. You have a passion for your training and that is awesome!

I admire your ability to keep a PMA with your H in the house. I'm kinda dreading just laying eyes on mine. I just want to be relaxed and as detached as possible. I don't want it to be weird but I know it will be.

I bet you would have a lot of fun with him!

I don't always keep my PMA, but when I feel it fading is when I go to my room, or go to play with my S. Just have ideas of constructive things you can do around the house or to GAL so that you have sanity breaks. It is impossible to have a PMA 24/7.

I'm really praying that this works out for you!

Thanks for praying for my M! I want it to work out but he acts so odd. He will be here around one tomorrow. I'm going to do what you do...just have me a list of constructive things to do.

So what do you intend to do when he gets back?

Yesterday was my S's 4th birthday. Had a wonderful day with him, and threw a friend party for him in the morning. I had to go to work in the evening though.

When I came home, my S was in bed. I asked how his night was and what they did for the evening together. My H said that they just played; nothing big. As I had spent the day reflecting on my son's first four years, I told my H that he was a great father to our S. He stopped and asked why. I told him that he was patient, enthusiastic, and understanding about our S's needs. He seemed upset about me saying this, told me that our son is a good kid because of me, and went to bed.

This morning, my S tells me that he had fun last night with Daddy and Pam.

A part of me wants to confront him, but that won't do anything to further my M. Does he not realize that little children don't keep secrets?!?!

There are ways to confront him without it turning vicious. Have you studied anything about how to communicate better with him?

Not really, other than what's on Cadet's pages. Do you have a recommendation?

We're not allowed to post any outside links, however it is easy enough to look up marriage communication books. Even the Venus and Mars books are great. Learn about anything you can about how men and women communicate with each other as part of your GAL. I can tell you that it's like unlocking a secret code.

Do you have any advice on how I should do this conversation about last night?

I'll check out some books this weekend when I go to the library. I've been reading about codependency right now.
