Funny that you mentioned eating dinner without H. I did that twice last week and H menitoned it on Saturday morning.
Oh, believe me, I am not focusing too much on H right now. I am working on me. It just feels like H is trying and it is hard for me to get into what he is doing. I feel myself pulling back. For example, I usually make a point to say goodbye and get a hug from H every morning. Here lately I have not been doing that. I just yell bye as we leave. Today I just left. He poked his head out the door and said Bye this time.
Quote: do not put a time limit on it. I am guessing that you are doing that to make yourself feel like you are standing up for yourself....ask yourself the age old question: Do you wnat to be right or do you want to be happy???
My time limit is for me. I know I cannot spend my summer (we both won't be working) worrying about H and what he is doing. I know me and I will worry. I can't live like that anymore. That is why I forced the issue in the first place. I need to move on one way or the other. So... the time limit is so I can eventually be happy.
