You know, you are absolutely right. That is defintely one of my downfalls, I need to spend more time recognizing and praising his strengths. Perhaps that should be my goal for right now? At least it will help take my mind off of the pregnancy until this baby comes.
C says that he is depressed and doesn't feel like he deserves to be with me, our family or to be happy. Says that he is WAY too hard on himself and feels like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Says that EA is a temporary thing to build up the ego and make him feel macho again. She also thinks that he feels like a failure, like he can't provide for our family and is looking for reassurance from other sources.
I tried going dark and it drove him absolutely nuts. As you can see from my postings, I'm a pretty long-winded, open person as he's accustomed to that (though I think it drives him nuts sometimes). Me going dark would only last a day or two cause he'd start asking so many questions about everything. It seemed almost trite to try to avoid answering so I gave in... Makes me feel like he still cares though.
