Good for you Grace. I am heading the same direction as you this week. As soon as I start to feel better. This cold/flu is really hanging on it seems. My H is a wallower too. I am fighting hard to not turn into one. Feeling 100% better mentally today than I did yesterday. Sometimes I think that our feelings get darker right before we start to let the light in. I don’t think there is anything wrong with asking for some clarity from your H... as long as you listen, validate and don’t come across as needy or desperate. I, for one, am not someone who likes to act “as if” and that may bite me in the butt one day but I accept it. I am striving to be as straightforward as possible with my H and develop a positive parenting relationship. This may take a hit in January when we have the finances talk. Not so much about the money but I am pretty sure he is going to want to fight about our kids. I hope we can come to an amicable agreement. Time will tell. In the meantime, GAL and 180’s full speed ahead. (((HUGS)))
