You beat me to it Mike. I was going to ask the same thing.
Quote:
Maybe I'm just not cut out to be in a relationship. Certainly not now. Too full of frustration and resentment.
That is understandable. But the things that lead to that frustration and resentment may be the reason. Were you direct and straight forward with the things you wanted from your H? Or do you just think you were? You said you were begging, what were you begging for? Attention? Companionship? I had to say companionship because of the dog analogy.
Quote:
One thing I haven't tried (ironically) is writing down my feelings and presenting them to my H THAT way. I write more clearly than I speak, and he probably absorbs information more easily by reading than listening.
This sounds like a good idea. I know I like to write things down instead of talking because I can get out what i want to say without someone interrupting and then getting off subject. But do you have anything to say to him at the moment? Is there anything that is going to change your mind and allow you to want ot work on your M?
