Karen... I do see my part in The Wall...my H instinctively senses when to pull away from me, and I have a hard time conveying to him that when I am moody and down, I do need him. He brought home a candle yesterday, so we are on a warming trend. I also pointed out to him that we haven't had any couples time since my daughter has come back from camp ( 2 weeks now), but this didn't light any idea flames for him. So this morning, I called him up and told him that he has 3 days to come up with a plan for us, or I am going out on Sat nite alone. He called back to say he is making dinner plans for us for Thursday. It's crazy that it has to get to this point... I wish we could both naturally get to a place of doing the right thing for the marriage...we are obviously not there yet. We seem to slide back to the old patterns all too easily.

You are right about the " cure" for the moodiness...anything physical or anything that allows me to detach for awhile really helps.
