Oh! H did ask me a question "Why do you want to be married to me if I don't want to be married to you?"
I told him our family unit means the world to me and I think kids should be raised by both parents (especially when the M is good...not now its not but overall). I told him I love him and that he is worth it. I also told him I was proud to be his wife. I said this nicely, quietly and matter of factly. No tears or questions back to him.
