Hi Piglet... I'm curious about a couple of things you said. You mentioned that you two haven't had an R talk since Monday. 5 days doesn't seem too terribly long in between R talks. As a matter of fact, it seems pretty quick (this from a woman who between bomb drop and DBing used to have them every few hours ). Is there a specific issue that you want to raise with him? If so, then maybe schedule a time (with an end time) to talk it over.

Otherwise, are you looking for that giving and sharing that comes from conversation? If so, then maybe you should rethink that. The majority of men, and specifically men like our Hs (introverts) hate this kind of talk. So why not seek it elsewhere? Get together with a girlfriend to analyze and dissect to your heart's content.

Are you worried that things left unaddressed will fester? I certainly don't advocate leaving problems alone and hoping they'll disappear. But in your M, will talk achieve this? Or will behaviours? You two certainly seem to be behaving your way to a loving R. Must it be talked about for the sake of talking?

Your H asked you to snuggle in front of the tv tonight. That seems to be addressing LLs of Physical Touch and Quality Time, without any painful talks. That's a good thing, and probably a lot more healing for your M than more discussions.

You two seem to be doing so well, I just hope you can appreciate the positives in your sitch without derailing your efforts at building your marriage with efforts to "work on" your marriage.

I envy how well you and your H are doing!!! Hope you're cuddling right now (while I type alone boo hoo)
