Ah, , such a boost for you both! A wonderful breakthrough -- a direct result of your (both of you!) hard work.
Quote: NG did say that he needed the same level of privacy he enjoyed before the affair, and understood how difficult it was for me. That he would try not to be so 'secretive'. All this without me saying anything. Just him observing that I was quieter than normal. He is watching me very carefully, it seems.
How interesting (and enlightening!) to have NG say this out loud. I give my h more privacy than before even though I'm sure others would find that insane and also there are times when it feels nearly impossible to do...but I know that privacy is important to h ( a realization that came so late for me!) and that also, the more I give, the less he actually seems to need.
A good reminder for me, actually.
