Since our bomb, I've learned to let go of many things and to give up control in order to free myself. Sometimes I make suggestions but my H now knows that I want his input and am open to discussion. We decide things together and have fallen into a good pattern of talking after dinner. We sit at the kitchen table and have dessert without the kids. I'm finding that the more I loosen up the more responsive H is to me and I am much happier. WE are much happier!
