Thanks, Azzork.

I could do a month. Small things, in a month. He deserves that from me. I can accept he's not in it for now, and I think you're right. Me leaving will probably not make much difference to him and only a little bit for me.

I just have no idea what to do. I have lots of GAL. He prefers me to leave him alone, so I do. I back up his discipline in front of the kids. I am courteous and thank him for cooking, driving us places, etc.

I can look for things to give compliments on and show appreciation on that.

Is there anything else you can suggest?
