I'm about to post a barn-burner, I'll take my godd*m mojo and football and go home.
SP - I say this was all good. You would be surprised how many times I've had to do this FOR ME when I was in a discussion with my H. The WA gets so caught up in THEMSELVES, THEIR feelings, what THEY want, that they stop seeing us as living, breathing, feeling people.
My H recently told me how much he respected me at the times I did this. Because DB by nature is easy going, validating, non-confrontational, whatever you want - THEY forget US. Yoo - hoo, remember me? A person you once loved enough to marry?
And this is necessary for US sometimes, because you can only let the rain roll off you for so long.
Now I might be wrong - and I am sure someone will tell me that - but we all need to dig deep and find our brass ones once in a while.
