WAW...now the LBS Part 2

[HOPEFULinCALI]

...be careful of your well-intentioned friends and family. They are trying to think of you. They don't want you to hurt anymore. And they, generally, don't really care about your feelings toward your spouse and they don't feel the same about them either.

any nursing updates?

Your right. Knowing what I know now I am careful about the advice I give family and friends. It is an all to common response for family and friends to tell either spouse to move on instead of standing by their commitment. My mother asked me on Monday, as she has several times since the bomb, how long was I going to wait. My response was "as long as I need to and I wasn't going to give up on my marriage...what is the point of commitment if you are going to quit when things get tough. I married for better or worse not for as long as things are good.
Def: commit-to obligate or pledge oneself
I committed myself to my marriage therefore I am obligated to make it work."

My mother has never been one for heartfelt conversation and obviously can not respect my need for privacy. I suppose that I am one down too, lol.

No nursing updates. I haven't seen H in nearly 2 wks or spoken to him in nearly 1 wk. I know my coach said that I needed to step up the friendship, but I needed a bit of space and detachment for my own sanity. I am no good to my M otherwise and I definitely feel refreshed.

I will stop by your thread soon. I haven't been able to write as much due to work, but I appreciate you stopping by. As always thank you soooo much for your advice. Oh and sometimes I forget so it never hurts to be reminded.:)
