Cat, I just read your advice about saying ILY when H doesn't say it, and I also appreciate that. I needed to hear that and it is a good idea like you said not to leave empty silence after I say it, so he feels compelled to say it, too. I feel as though I am doing all the giving, and he is doing all the taking right now, but that is the way it is for now, so that advice was a real help. L
