Well, I'm a little disheartened today, because last night we had some pretty impatient moments and really snapped at each other. Unfortunately, it "felt like old times" and not in a good way. I may journal the details later, but may be better just doing other stuff today.
We came out of it. Watched a funny movie together. Before falling asleep, he said, "I love you," and put a hand on me. I said IL him too and appreciated him reaching out to me. Quick interactions this morning, then I called him when he was at work. Just tried to sound cheerful and said I was thinking about him and looking forward to a nice weekend together. He said he was busy so I wrapped it up. (He didn't waste time talking about how badly he needed to go, like he used to, which I know was intentional.) We said goodbye, ILY.
I was just hurt by how QUICKLY a few snippy comments got all those entitled feelings rushing out of us and how we lashed out. Yuk. Want to try and make that better in the future. At least we came out of it.
