Piecing Myself and Not My Marriage

[may22]

OK, I will post a bit now and try to post more later. I was trying to think of ways to draw him out of his patterns and place of fear, without pressure. Like maybe starting off doing totally silly and ridiculous things together with the kids, as a family... for instance do you have the game PieFace in the UK? It is so silly and people get whip cream in their faces but everyone cracks up like crazy. We've been playing this game called Heads Up (iPhone app) which is like a guessing/charades game and is also fun and hilarious. I feel like just setting up a way for you guys to relax and laugh together as a family would be good. Then maybe progress into things with the two of you, like watching a standup comedian once the kids to go bed, or something. From reading your old threads I feel like a date night might be too much pressure for your H, right away, but eventually date nights and even a vacation just the two of you feels like it could be really helpful.

I had more thoughts, will write more later.
