Because a few weeks ago he played this song for me and told me it had "a hell of a message"
I Never Dreamed
My daddy told me always be strong son Don't you ever cry You find the pretty girls and then you love them Then you say goodbye I never dreamed that you would leave me But now you're gone I never dreamed that I would miss you Woman won't you come back home
I never dreamed that you could hurt me And leave me blue I've had a thousand, maybe more But never one like you I never dreamed I could feel so empty But now I'm down I never dreamed that I would beg you Woman I need you now
It seems to me I took your love for granted It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong Oh Lord now I feel so lonely I say woman won't you come back home
I tried to do what my daddy taught me But I think he knew Someday that I would find one woman like you I never dreamed that it could feel so good, Lord That two could be one I never knew about sweet love So woman won't you come back home Oh baby won't you come back home
Would you consider printing these lyrics out for him with a note saying that a few weeks ago he had you listen to this song saying that it had a hell of a message..... that you agree and to please let you know when he's ready for this to happen. Maybe slip it inside a card and give it to him with the anniversary scrapbook....
at least think about it.... ok?

Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
And besides girl, that scrapbook is already K-I-L-L-I-N-G me.
Whose friggin idea was that anyway!
I don't see it as ballsy at all..... hell, looks to me like he was telling you he wanted you home when he asked you to listen to it. He just needs to find his balls and actually say it!

He's addressing them where he needs to, Jazz. Within himself.
Yes, he's angry at himself but he is also angry at me. For the past and I suspect because my continued presence is going to lead us to some hard stuff.
And Jazz, to A POINT he can "take it out on" me.
But I'm not taking any unnecessary crap, believe me.
It's going to be hard and it's going to be ugly but sooner or later, we're GOING to have to go there.

I sat there so stunned I couldn't do or say anything.
Another moment like that will not pass without me grabbing the bull by the horns.
You are doing the right thing. He needs to know you aren't there to recreate your role of 'meek, passive wife' ever again. You are trained for a new role. One that is much better.
