Hi Pattie - It seems like every few weeks I need to take myself back to the begining. To be honest, there are so many great things going on in my life with NG, I really need to work on celebrating these, instead of taking them for granted.

Yup, because she makes him feel special, no guilt, no need for remorse, only the good stuff. With me, we need to work out 'issues' - ugh - all the negative stuff. And bills, and his mum, and, and, and

At some point, when it feels right, I will definitely broach the subject of self image with NG. For the time being, we are just so busy with moving house next week, and then seriously getting our flat sold. In the midst of all this, we are re-conecting, so I just need to hang in there.
