I think I belong in Piecing...

Just a quick update to share that things are humming along pretty good here. H seems to put an effort into being more affectionate, giving me a hug every night before bedtime.

We're still sleeping in separate bedrooms, and he seems uninterested in working out the practical bed problem (two bad backs with different needs).

I am not always a peach to live with, but for some reason, it almost seems he responds better when I'm quite direct and short about how I feel. One-sentence statements seem to make an impression. (Less is more? ;))

A lot of the behavior I dislike from him, is triggered by being tired, stressed or overwhelmed. He's not good at taking care of himself.

All in all, it's been a good week.
