Quoting Trying24now: 3. as we were falling asleep...h said "if you wake up and get scared or need me in any way, wake me up and I'll keep you safe and protected".
Okay...that about puts me over the top with your H...how wonderful and perceptive was that!!!! Sage, you are well on your way to love everlasting, I am so very happy for you two. T2
T2 -- Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes...it's amazing to me what I am hearing from h now...SO much openness and love.
He mentioned keeping me safe again yesterday...I don't know how he knows that this has been a bigger trigger for me but his insight into it is lovely and loving.
We had a great weekend. Hiking, relaxing watching both the Red Sox and Pats yesterday, going to a movie last night, etc. We're both in school tonight but we've shared some great phone calls today.
One thing that I'll admit is perplexing me is that I don't feel as though I'm DOING much to show him how much I love him. And yet, I can only say that the results have been stupendous! I'm not sure if I'll explain this well but there's a part of me that thinks that my calming down, slowing down on action, working on my anger, accepting h totally for who he is...all THAT is what's working...but since it's so much caught up in feeling not doing...it feels weird!
Maybe it's about creating an environment where he feels as though he can be who he really is...
