That's tough, Alison, really tough. I do identify with the feeling dragged down instead of lighting up with your H, my H is an emotional black hole when I'm with him, and I also have not seen his light in so long I've forgotten if it ever shone. I have no advice, just offering some compassion to you. It's hard, trying to work out if all of this is worth it! I'm glad you're making progress with your IC though, that's positive xx
