How are things with hubby now Mari? Has he given you much to write down in your week log? I hope that when you read it over to him he can appreciate where he needs to improve on his communicating skills with you. You're right though, when you said that communication with one's spouse is about conveying emotions....Hope that he realizes that and can work on how he talks to you. I'm sorry you've been under so much stress at work. Hopefully things will even out soon.
