Yesterday was not a good day for me and I reverted back to needy. Not attractive. I seem to think I am making progress and I get comfortable and something happens and I get cross and he withdraws. WHY cant I be accepting of his decision and treat him with the respect I would a friend or family member. I would never of snapped at them .
When does this end.
Maxy, I am in counseling and we talked about this very thing the past couple of weeks. how do we get to this point? And actually I had read on the topic, in books by Thich Nhat Hanh, on why we treat the people we love, badly.
And guess what! Getting a life helps with this. If you are finding things you enjoy, things that nurture you, you will be less likely to snap at loved ones.
You will have more patience and acceptance of his decision. You will accept the fleeting nature of all things.
It will get better for you. For now, FAKE IT till you make it.
