I cannot decide which is worse, for those whose spouses just walk away and never look back, or for those where they yo-yo all over the place. I can't imagine H just cutting himself off from me, but at the same time, maybe I wouldn't have been hanging on to hope for so long..............
Don't let your loved one's oddball habits get you down. Everyone has their own quirks, including you. Learning to love the whole person is part of a strong relationship.
Yeah, I think it is so natural to realize that your spouse will have annoying habits, and you will annoy them. But who says that has to be a deal-breaker? Mature people should/could look beyond little annoyances if the love is there....
Was going to take a personal day tomorrow, but I didn't ask and now the principal is gone...
That's what I think. I could rattle off several things H does that are 'annoying' on some level, but I would never leave him/cheat on him b/c of some little annoying habits.....that is part of love, accepting someone. That little red flag flew up at Retrouvaille when we journaled on accepting each other, I said I could/did accept H as he was and he said he WANTED to accept me flaws and all but there were parts of me he DIDN'T accept.........
Sorry about the principal vanishing! Don't try too hard to figure him out right now. I think it might be a moving target. The main point, which you have already figured out, is that you can't "fix" him. So take good care of YOU!
Thanks for visiting my thread, and for all of your support. It's not like you don't have enough on your plate!
