Hubby's steadfast love is helping me a lot with that particular area of woundedness.

Oooh, now there's something I recognize. Some of the hardest words I ever heard were when our family counselor (we were there, ostensibly, for our teenage daughter) asked me if I trusted my husband.
Before I could answer, he said quietly, "As much as she'll ever trust another human being."
The sad part is, he was right, and though it has improved dramatically over the years, I know in the unlit corners of my heart, I hold just a bit of my trust/love/self in reserve, even from him.
Like you, I'm a work in progress...
