Woah, you really showed self control when he said that. If my hubby had said that to me, I would have had to bite my tongue to keep from going all sarcastic "And I love you too, honey".
He's still depressed, isn't he? That sounds like depression talking to me.
This is the part that bugs us now, doesn't it? They are here, but sometimes they act like it's such a big chore to show love and affection. Whadda want, that I should tell you every day??? Yes, that would be nice. You could act like you enjoy my company, for starters.
I'm sorry you are going thru this, I'm sorry I am too! Although my situation might be even considered ideal to a lot of folks on this board, I want more. I don't just want him living at home and being faithful (that's a start), but I want him to be in love with me. I deserve it! And so do you!
Not much happening with me, I think what I need is a tincture of time. I'm so unbelievably impatient.
