WAAAA WAAAA WAAA...I kept thinking about the teacher in Peanuts, as a matter of fact. And I guess this is what I was talking about the other day, Bets, when I posted on your thread that him expressing any feelings was a great thing (although I never would have called you a megaphone).

I guess I didn't realize how much I've bulldozed over my H in the three years we've been together, and last night I thought carefully about some of the hard points in our relationship where we could have had thoughtful, quiet discussions and strengthened our bond instead of me just screaming, yelling, and sobbing and him never getting a word in edgewise.

But, like I saw you write in a post to H2H, we can't change our past - we can only change the present. So my job is to figure out how to remove those batteries (a good place to start - try NOT to cry through every marriage counseling session - I seriously think it is my way of keeping the focus on me. Sad but true.), and specifically how to apply this insight to our real-life, everyday interactions. Maybe our MC and my IC could help me with this.
I'll keep everyone posted...
