WOW! I just read EICK's profile. Totally weird. Is it strange having your H on the forum? I'm hoping to include mine soon. Bad idea?<P>I just want to say that EICK's description of the situation sounds really similar to how my H describes ours. Same lack of trust. Same doubts. Same concern for our children. There have been times that my H tells people that I seduced him so I could get pregnant. Yet, he knows he wanted to have a baby and was fully in control of his part in the whole process (he was right there with me buying the pregnancy test, excited to see that pink line). <P>That's all for now. My H wants me to help clean the house. ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/wink.gif) <P>Lizbeth

Lizbeth,<BR>My H told the counselor that our fifth and sixth children were conceived because I refused to use birth control - a complete fabrication. He had often acted like he didn't care whether we used birth control or not, and just a couple of years ago he told me that he would have liked to have had even more children if we could have afforded it. He has conveniently forgotten ever saying that.

Okay, let's get this straight right now; there's no need to ask me if my house is clean. If it is, I'll be sure to let everyone know. Otherwise, I just feel pressured. Got it? LOL<P>Everything will go great! Maybe not right away or not all the time, but overall I think things will be fine. You both obviously care about each other very much.<P>Nellie1, can you believe the things some of our H's say? How about that selective memory, huh?<P>Hang in there and keep us posted (as best as you can with H on the forum)!<P>Lizbeth

Thanks, Cheryl. I know what you mean about being wrapped up in your own garbage. I've been reading what's up with most people but just don't have it in me right now to respond. <P>lWb, I'm so glad to have my H back (not totally moved back yet but pretty much living here), but sometimes I think I'm really not going to be able to keep this up much longer! You sound like you're doing well.
