Yes, you're right. And the doing something but not telling me what it is sounds very familiar, though he did say today that I shouldn't blame myself for this. He is having a genuine crisis I think, he's just made it all about us. Not taking things personally but taking them personally enough to change in a positive way has been a huge thing to me in all of this. I have taken things both too personally and not personally enough for a long time, I see that now.

And maybe he needs to see what life is like without me in it before he realises what he has to lose and does something. I will get there eventually. It's easier when you're feeling strong, not hormonal and like you can cope with anything. I'm not at that place right now (but I was a week ago so I will be again, I felt on top of the world last week).

Good luck with your work, mine continues. It will be slapdash but submitted.
