Hello FS, I just joined and am busy reading threads. I love your description of your dancing and your yoga holiday, they sound amazing and a great way to GAL. I can also identify with having a scowling husband looking on at you having fun, my dh did that quite a bit and that's tough.
Reading back a little bit, it seems we have a bit in common in terms of needing to show our husbands vulnerability and not distancing as we used to do in the past. The scene you describe above with the photo book sounds painful, but also like you withdrew from him instead of being open. Perhaps you could send him a text saying how beautiful the photos were but that you found it painful? Just a suggestion, like I say this is something I'm struggling with, trying to protect myself from pain but also not retreating from my husband when I'm in pain. It's very hard. Some days you want to throw in the towel and some days you want to fight for your marriage.
