I'm sorry for your pain. Your H would certainly benefit from a few lessons in communicating.
I think you're both looking for the same thing, but trying to get it in different ways. Respect is big for you both. He's trying to get it by being the successful executive for you. You're trying to get it through communicating about things important to you.
He will feel respected when you greet him at the door as the sexually-smitten maiden waiting for her big, strong hero. You'll feel respected when he opens his heart to talk to you about his feelings, dreams and desires, and find out about yours.

I'm not heading to D-Court, in case any of you might think that. I don't know what to think or do, actually. There isn't much I can do, except take care of me. And the kids. And the dog. And the cat. -----------------------
Welcome to my world. I went from HD to ND. Since you say you're LD, I guess you have a shorter distance to go.
