CSW... I have been reading your thread and admire the way you're handling your stressful situation...I don't know what form it will take or when it will be, but there will eventually be a silver lining...stay strong, my friend.
This weekend is my birthday and H has been yanking my chain a bit, saying stupid stuff like we really don't need to do anything, that we are going away for a few days at the end of the month, tht we have to go to a wedding on Sun. so no need to do anything birthday related. It's been a long yr and I am really not in the mood for the teasing but hadn't said anything. I remembered something from the DVD...if you want something, don't complain, just request it, so I actively said to H that I wish he would say something nice about my b-day, that he wanted to take me out, instead of all this other junk, and he got it! He looked me in the eyes and said he wanted me to have a wonderful birthday. The words had the right feeling, and that's all I need.
Don't sulk, complain, brew or nag... just state what you want... he's not a mind reader ( gotta remember this one).
Planning to watch more of the tape tomorrow.
IHJ---who got a post from Michele...yaaaaayyy!!!!!!
