Of course this always resulted in feelings of failure and pain for both H and I. I am sorry that I didn't understand his pain. I was too wrapped up in mine. I hate that I was that selfish.
Do you wonder if there are others in your life who feel like he does? Do you want to be different? If yes, what's stopping you changing?
