Hmmmmmm. I consider this board to have been an unmixed blessing in my marriage and my life (big thanks to everyone) ... it got me reading Schnarch (Passionate Marriage, which I just finished), introduced me to the "Nice Guy" concept etc, etc. I have never felt more confident, more at peace with being imperfect, happier with where my marriage is going, or more empowered to craft my life into my vision of it.
Until the last several days. Nothing has changed externally as far as I can tell. My husband S. is being very supportive of and open to the readjustments I'm starting to make. (He's even taken to playfully rebuking me when I say "sorry" when I shouldn't; so far, it's cute.) I just feel like the wheels fell off internally. I'm staving off most of the bitchiness, but the tears and (atypically) AWOL sex drive have got me down.
Has anyone else experienced anything vaguely like this kind of emotional boomerang in the wake of making profound emotional discoveries and/or changes? Is my fearful soul trying to hang on to the status quo? Did the rubberband in my brain just stretch as far as it could right now and is now snapping back?
Am I making a mountain out of a molehill?
Bones ... throw 'em if you got 'em.
