Lil, You know, he is hardly on the computer, incredible isn't it? I mean, if the computer isn't working for some reason, I feel lost!

I like your suggestion. I am finding I do better communicating in written form, yet writing letters seems like such a formality now that I am used to being on the computer. Doing cell phone texting is stuff my kids and their friends do...too adolescent. Must think about this....

Interestingly, I had a friend who would communicate with her H through a stuffed animal. They'd pick up the animal and talk in third person when they had to air out difficult things, you know, like, " Mr. Cuddly Bear thinks blahblahblah." Helped to make it all less threatening...this intimacy stuff sure is scary!
