Thanks for the reminder. You're right that I need to be more aware of my thought patterns. The one thing I did want to mention is that the comment about "out drinking apparently" were actually his words. I had asked him if he had thought about what I had said and then he said "I was too busy drinking" so it was a little sarcastic on my part when I posted it but at the same time almost exactly what he told me in the first place. But the moral is true. I need to watch what I say just as much as how I think. If not more so. . .It's just so hard sometimes when I get upset and want to freak out!
I have been thinking about this whole house thing and I realize that he is capable of having a house and taking care of the bills. He is smart and has never had any financial troubles. At times he has made questionable choices that left us in trouble but he always found a way to work it out. I need to remember that just because I do not agree with his choices does not automatically make them bad choices on his part. I need to drop the "my way or the highway" attitude I have and to stop thinking that everything I think is better than how he thinks.
Sigh.
It's such a big project. Tell me that it gets easier?
I'm still nervous about counseling in a couple of days. I really want to come across the right way. He is taking baby steps in my direction and right now I need to be crazy careful so that I do not scare him away. . .for good.
Thanks for the reminder/encouragment Tink! As always I appreciate you and all your help and advice!
