Hoping you're feeling better, WCW. Yikes, what a meeting!!!
You're right, until the both of you clear, and come to a more fun time like last weekend, no R talk. (the advice you gave me this week!).
H might be testy because of the meeting today too....I know I would be, for sure. Feels like you're on th chopping block, and your W on the other side as well. Makes it kind of hard to lean on you at this time.
Hoping things get better this weekend.
Sounds like the tight silences are really hard for the 2 of you and you're often searching for neutral things that are not housework related. Can you try to keep a list of running topics in your head to talk about? I try to do that (and I know H does as well). At first they were LAME, now a little nicer. Just even tidbits of news about family, friends, share a laugh that you share with us on the board (like the gas on the jeans...). When I'm feeling anxious or scared or mad, I find it hard to force myself to do this, make small talk and share, but it's SO important.
Not to be pushy, but can a goal for this week to reconnect to a "normal" life be that you initiate conversation more.Seems like he responds well, so he might be in a funk of guilt and "she hates me"....Try to fill the silences more.
