Guess who just burn her finger taking something out of the oven.
Good image for me to follow. (damn this finger is beginning to blister.. argghh)
Guess who thought this was just a well done continuation of the metaphor Ouch!!!!
Great insight from LWB, though...so true.
And i really think you are right about this as well:

The left behind spouse doesn't put energy into...trying to make a point that only causes further disintegration. It takes two to fight, one to open the door.
I am just now really coming to an understanding of that; it's been way too long coming, I think partly because of how long i've heaped way too much blame on myself for what has happened. As I have come to a more valid understanding of my role, it has become easier to let go of the desire for H to 'understand', and for me to 'justify' my position. Does that make any sense?
Likely won't make any difference in the outcome of our sitch, but it left me feeling less awful after last R talk that H initiated...and there seemed to be a little less anger on his part as a result.
I hope you are having a great day at your hospital orientation; it sounds like a wonderful way to give and receive!!
Ouch!!!!
