Responding a few days late to this post but wanted to say that I understand what it feels like to be treated like a piece of poo to say it nicely. My H has such mood swings that I dont know from day to day what is going to set him off...And trying to DB when you want to just yell back in their face F you buddy is hard. But whenever a snide comment is passed I have been good about not responding with another snide comment. Trying to be the better person. That is what I keep telling myself.
I too am getting quite lonely in the affection dept, so we can be in the same club. It was great that your H initiated a kiss ....I am jealous...LOL Whatever you are doing is working...Tell me what it is so I can do the same. I wish my H would just kiss me. I dont want to initiate it because I am scared now of being rejected.
