[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read books by Lisa DAmour. Especially Untangled. Highlight parts to show your dh if he won’t read it himself. This is very normal, though of course infuriating. Lots of good advice in that book. [/quote] +1. My husband’s feelings have been so, so hurt by her pulling away. But he then pulls away too so it is a race to the bottom. Two things have helped a lot. First, encouraging him to spend time with her in ways they can both enjoy. He did a music festival with her, her best friend and the best friend’s dad. They turned a corner a bit. And I’ve asked him to read Untangled. He has been surprised by how insightful the book is and it helps him understand what is happening with her.[/quote]
