It's pathetic how similar your situation is to mine. The only real difference is you are someone who loses her temper when upset and I am someone who either puts on a fake smile or cries when pushed to the brink. Also, my H would never even go to the trouble of buying a phone for my daughter. She would remain forever phoneless until it got to the top of my TO DO list. Do you sometimes feel like your H sucks all the energy out of you? Do you think you would find it kind of relaxing if he traveled a lot like my H does now?

Exactly. But who props you up when you need some support? You can differentiate until the cows come home, but you're still going to NEED a hug every once in a while.
