Just a brief journal entry. Got off the phone with an old friend after discussing my sitch. Interestingly enough, he's the first person who's brought up the E word - empathy. Said he never mentioned anything before I married because I seemed so happy, but he'd always been concerned that W never seemed like she had empathy for anyone else. This has always been my biggest reservation about our R. It bothered me that W never seemed to connect with the idea that she should treat people the same way she expected to be treated, but whenever I mentioned it, I never felt like anyone else knew what I was talking about.
Without empathy, there's no real basis for anything else. This is why our R doesn't work when I slack. Do I want really want to work to save this?!
