Quote: fun loving, open and creative woman instead of the repressed b!tch he's had to deal with for the majority of the marriage.
I don't think your H would necessarily prefer my extroverted, drive-for-the-hoop b*tchiness over your repressed style. The "real-life" friend I have who just told me that she is LD reminds me a lot of you. She is a definite Type 4. For me the bad thing about becoming empathetic to LD types is that I start to just think that the real problem is the institution of marriage itself or maybe just monogamy. If it were the 1970s we could husband-swap and learn all the ways in which the grass isn't necessarily greener . I'm almost to the point where I might prefer an arrangement like my twice-divorced Grandmother had. She lived in Detroit and her gentleman friend lived in Ontario and every weekend they'd cross the river to get together but otherwise pretty much did their own thing.
