IT’S UP TO ME
I have come to realize that it’s up to me what type of relationship I have with my hubby! He just left for the country. When I told him how much I appreciate all he is doing he said, "Do you want to have a good cry together?" I said, "Why not?" I didn’t want to start anything so dropped it.
The truth is that he is a very sensitive and caring man. He just doesn’t know how to show it. He doesn’t want to create "scenes". I guess if I had realized that years ago I would have tried to draw him out. We were just so busy with life. Also I had been taught that the man is the "BOSS." Why do we learn too late? Anyhow it is not too late!!!!!!!
My daughter is here. We will spend the day together. I want her to see the condo. I haven’t seen it for a few days. I also have some messages to do. I don’t know how patient she will be. She is just not used to doing a million messages like I am. I think this is a good time to talk about hubby’s birthday. Maybe we’ll go over to one of my son’s. I’ll discuss it with her when she gets up. I am going to take a relaxing bath and get ready for my wonderful day.
It’s sweet what you said to your hubby and that you notice all he’s done, his sensitivity etc. I think that intimacy is what really provides the richness in marriage – it’s not too late to cultivate it!

This is quite a turnabout for you. Congratulations. You will make you and your husband very happy with the new, better attitude.

It took way too many years wasted on silly arguments over hurt feelings because I didn’t recognize the same trait in my husband. He, too, is an extremely sensitive person, unable to communicate those sentiments verbally. I’ve learned to savor the fact that he is a DOER when it comes to expressing his love and appreciation. I wish I would have learned that before 20 years of marriage, but boy, since I have come to realize that about him, the last 10 years been wonderful and virtually argument free!

I haven’t been leaving you notes lately because I didn’t think you accepted notes anymore. There is so much space from the end of your entry to the notes that I never went down that far! Ha! Maybe you should delete some spaces. I bet you’re missing other notes too. Happy Mother’s Day.
