That said, I am also not playing this tap-dancing one minute-pussy-footing the next bullsh*t anymore. I am not treating that man with kid gloves for another minute. I know the man that he is - he's the one that stood for more than 2-years while I had lost my damn mind. It's high time for him to find that man again and if to get that accomplished I have to walk all the way away, so be it. I can't stand to see him like this anymore. It fosters the spirit of guilt in me and I can't take it anymore. I have done MORE than enough to right the wrongs. From now on it's back to basics and I don't mean the basics of divorce busting. I mean survival of the fittest.
Yes. If you continue to treat him with 'kid gloves' then you're not treating him like a man, are you?
However, I know that you know that taking 'off' the 'kid gloves' doesn't mean putting on the boxing gloves.
It just means treating him with respect, and holding him to his word. supporting while also being the 'cheerleader' when crappy things happen, and the the general friend who knows when to back off, and when to speak.
Like I said, if he needs another man to talk at who has been where he's been he can call me.
