I read what all you guys suggested about my H. I talked to him about his needs and the needs of our marriage. He admitted that he needs to communicate more with me. He also said that he didn't realize how bothered I was by him talking to these women. He said he meant no harm and never intended for it to go any further than it did. I really believe him. Never once has he lied to me. We are working on our communication and will continue to do so. I came to this forum not expecting for someone to so intrest and actually talk to me. I can't tell you how happy I am knowing I have a place to come to. Thank you so much!!! He even agreed to take the emotional needs questionnaire!!!
