Thanks mightymom...I will try to make time and go check out your story.
The strained peas analogy is a good one. JustJenny is the current queen of analogies here, but maybe you could give her a run for her money. I liked, especially, your question about how being humorous would make ME feel. Well, probably pretty good, although a lot of my humor depends on the reaction I get. Then again, too much of MY actions and moods depend on what others' reactions or expected reactions are. I need to focus more on making myself a happier camper.
It sounds like you're in a good place now. Wow, both your H and your X communicate well? My W and my X have tried in the past to communicate, but usually end up clawing and scratching at each other.
