Quote: so recently when we were having a dead end convo, I said I was going to take the dog for a walk and asked H to go and believe it or not he did and the walk was pleasant. I will have to remember this as something that works.
This is GREAT, Misty! You're really "getting it" here!! Yes, changing ANYTHING can really work!!
Is there a way to start expressing your inner most feelings? Guess, I am at a standstill and can't get this ball rolling???
Maybe you can start out with some relatively safe, non-OR type of stuff. Things like feelings you have about books you've read, movies you've seen, news events, etc. Start with these things, "practice" with some topics that are less likely to become emotionally charged for both of you, and let the ball start rolling from there.
What topics like this can you think of to get started with? Some things that you might have some "inner most" feelings on, outside of any relationship stuff, that you can talk with him about?
P.S. I think that your walk was also a great one of those "quality moments" away from the house for both of you, don't you?! Keep looking for more of these!
