In some ways our H's are similar--my H is and has been a ME kind of guy. My H is an alcoholic--not recovering at this point. To be honest, H's drinking has slowed down in the last few months, considerably!! And to hear that your H is making the shift gives me faith that my H can make that shift. That is why I'm holding onto him, our R, why I keep plugging away day after day, with the kind of patience I never knew I had!
I'm coming to realize and TO BELIEVE, that I am important, MY needs are important and that my H will at some point have to show me that he can meet MY needs.
I am just so darn happy for you T2, YOU'VE come so far!!
