Yes, a very long time. Trust me when I say it has not been easy and I've had some very passive-aggressive moments (flipping him off when I went in the other room, and my personal favorite letting the plunger drip on his toothbrush after using it!)
I am not the best DBer, still need to GAL more and taking better care of myself physically and really watch how I react. But I have made enough positive changes to seemingly get my marriage moving in the right direction. We still have not had a conversation about it, I'm ok with that for now but still feel that will need to happen at some point in the future.
I remind myself on a daily basis of where I was 6-9 months ago. There is still lots of work to be done I don't think he's a)ready or b)has figured that out yet so I will continue on the path I'm on for now as it is the path I wanted.
Pho, I am not familiar with your sitch so I will stop by and check out your thread at some point (I'm not on here too often). As you can see from my posts patience truly is key!
Bob, thanks for stopping by!
