Writing prompts

For a little while now I've been yearning for my husband to communicate more with me. I'm not trying to push him though, because I don't want to make him talk about something he's not ready to talk about. I do feel like a big part of him not talking to me about how he's been in relation to quitting porn is that he really doesn't know what to talk about, how to talk about it, or hasn't really put a lot of thought to it-just taking things day by day.

My need to know what's happening is winning out, and I decided to help the communication thing along by making a jar or list or something full of writing prompts. These prompts are going to be the things I want to ask him about but haven't. My hope is that by taking the time from time to time to write about the subjects he will be forced to actually think about them rather than just let things me. I also hope that this will be a means by which he can really start thinking critically about the life changes he's going to be or already has started to experience.

While I was trying to make a list on my phone, I also decided that folder may be in order. Even though a journal would get the job done, I think a folder may be more helpful because he would be able to categorize the subjects. I think I'll put dividers in for each of the major signs and symptoms. I would also like to include the opportunity for him to revisit each subject as a whole so that he can look back and compare and contrast.

The major signs and symptoms as broken down into tabs will likely look like:

• PIED
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Sleep
• Productivity
• Intimacy
