[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 626216, member: 15832"] So, acceptance... Well, I picked him up from work yesterday and we went to dinner with easy child and husband. During the drive I noticed his nails. Despite being given nail brush and clippers, despite being made to clip and clean nails by his uncle while he was prepping him for the job interview, despite my having mentioned the importance of this before, they were still unkempt. I guess i should have accepted this. Instead I mentioned it again, and I get, oh, all you do is criticize me. I should add that he's been isolating himself again. Mentioned health club was having a special, sign up for free membership for a week, (he has mentioned that he would like to play basketball again). No sign up. Friends and family members he just doesn't call back. And he's having issues at work, though I don't know if it is his skewed perception because of his MH issues. Sigh. I was really down about this last night, but today I went to the gym and I feel a lot better. A lot more accepting. I was doing that breathing exercise that Cedar recommended. I'm going to cook my husband a nice dinner since today's his birthday and go to a FA meeting tonight. [/QUOTE]
