What a difference a week makes! And thank God for that! I say with hesitancy because another life lesson I have learned is that things change and change fast.
Without getting into all the gory details, we are talking to each other. Yes honest to goodness adult conversation. Not without a little help though. My therapist in her infinite wisdom(who knows my husband better than I do and has never met him)bought us cards that we use to answer questions. We each pick a card and answer it and no cross talk is allowed(this is the only reason my husband agreed to do this because he can answer any way he wants and I am not allowed to say a word). I've literally had to slam my hand against my mouth to refrain from saying anything but I have refrained, barely.
It's been an eye opener for both of us asking things like what is your mates favorite flower(stack 1) to Do you think your mate is a good listener? Why or why not?(stack 2). The idea is after we finish stack 2 we have a better understanding of each other. We have just started stack 2 so I will keep you updated!
