Hi NOPkins,

I will work on being somber. I think it will take him a long time because even when he notices, he will not ask. He used to say... if one of us thinks there is a problem, whether the other one agrees or not, there is a problem and we have to talk about it. That was "in the beginning". He always seemed to "get it", that was one thing that really attracted me to him. He knew what to say and what to do all the time.

I really do not understand why he doesnt want to talk about it. Like I have said, I am never mean or degrating... on the contrary, I seem to sugar coat things but at least I put myself out there and try to communicate and tell him what I want. Everything I have told you, I have told him... Now I am really uncomfortable bringing anything up because of the letter I told you about where I "let him off the hook." It was something different, thought it would give us a clean slate to start fresh. It worked for a short time.

I will do this, might be awhile for something to happen but it is different and I will keep going until something works!!

Thanks for helping so many of us!
