Hey hope-
Just checking in with you this morning...hope all is well. I'm sorry to hear that your H wants to have the financial talk...been there. But, to be honest, things with my H got better after it...if that makes any sense. Just be prepared with what YOU want. And i agree with Sassy...don't let him pressure you into making any decisions...please? Don't make the same mistake i did. As for telling him that you hear him...definitely get a sense of his mood. You might want to say something like, "i did a lot of thinking and i want you to know that i do hear what you're saying and i understand that you are not coming back." I would try to make it as short and simple as possible. Anything more may lead to a R discussion that you don't really want to have. And it will probably just pressure him. We may not think that what we are saying is pressure, but they are on a whole different planet with this.

I do agree with everyone...you do sound stronger every day. I think we get to a point where we realize that we need to be strong in order to survive. Take care today...hope you have a good day.
