Quote: I would never have believed a week ago that we could have had this kind of convo, let alone that it would have gone this well, without H huffing off and me getting angry. So, I'll pat myself on the back
You deserve a pat on the back, because you were courageous and "held on to yourself". If I can make one suggestion, I would tell you to not concern yourself right now with your H's reaction to your statements. He has to deal with his reactions himself. In Schnarch-Speak, you need to put him in the crucible, but he needs to find his way out.
