{{{{{{{{Mary Alice}}}}}}}}}

I can sense your pain here....please don't let it wreck you.

If there is anything that is good to come out of this...... that there is a change in you....
"This is something new for me - I avoid conflict like the plague and usually try to shove off doing stuff like that in person by making my husband deliver a note from me. But I went in and did it "
How did that make you feel? That initial reaction? I am imaging it felt good and gave you a boost of confidence.

{{{{{Alex}}}}} give him some of those for me ok? I like Somebody's suggestion of a calendar for him to mark off the days....buy some special stickers for him to put on it. It will give him some control on his feelings too and will show him how much you both mean to each other. For the days when you come home....make it your time like you said.

I truly feel that something wonderful is going to happen when you are away. I believe that the message you are receiving is that there is something bigger and better taking place. Use this time to get to know the "real Mary Alice".

We are tugging that grate on your hole and throwing it to the side
