deezee, the advice is actually great, and it is right on, in fact I think that is a huge reason why my sitch is even in the present, positive state that it is. However, I think my H and I have both been avoiding any R talk, we rarely do, and I think we both may realize we need too. Regardless, he has told me he wants this to work, and his actions, for the most part show that, so I don't think I am necessarily out of line to request a lttle update from him...hopefully this evening when we are alone he'll be in the "mood" for a talk...
