Mleigh, just stopping by to say hi. I don’t have much advice here. Just want to tell you that you are an inspiration to me. You are enjoying your life, while still being open to the dialog with your H. He’s got some ways to grow, that’s for sure. I’m coming to a conclusion in my own sitch, that if there is chance for a R down the road, it has to start anew with the friendship. My sitch is a bit different though. I have a grown up son and don’t have to worry about co-parenting.
I think it is huge step that your H had finally voiced his frustrations. I would encourage him to talk about that more. More he expressed himself, more he will be able to process things. I know this from my own experience. I used to hide all my feelings and resentments inside, and they just kept growing bigger and bigger. Once I learnt how to express my feelings and resentments, I was able to finally put them behind me (thanks to H and DB, ironically…) mleigh, keep listening to you H and validating. I think it will benefit both of you.
I hope your son enjoys his summer, in spite being stuck in the summer camp, LOL.
