Thanks, bf and Rick!

Labug - A reality check for your H, indeed...

And what a contrast - His sitch sounds so sad to me, while I can hear the sense of peace and contentment in your words. So glad you have all your chicks home. :-)

He is very good at keeping his feelings inside, thus we find ourselves in our current sitch.

When he chooses his hill to die on, there's no little room for retreat.

And I really would like him to be happy.

So nice to have both boys home I'm sure they enjoy being together too- it's god for S19 to have another guy to hang out with besides his dad- who has been leaning on him heavily for support.

Your H sounds like he's pouting in his place. And since he's upset S19, he no longer had a babysitter to take care of him... Aww, so sad.

You think your H`s miserable existence might be a catalyst for change?

You OTOH sound so at peace....yeah!
