A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[hoosiermama]

H seems quiet and withdrawn today - pensive, even. Perhaps the two events are unrelated, but I certainly hit a pensive streak after my little show. Now that the glove is on the other hand, so to speak, it seems that he may be having a similar, introspective reaction.

I am giving him space to work it out.

I have a sense it's about vulnerability, how you both probably promised yourselves at some level that you'd never be vulnerable to the other ever again--at some point in the past--and there's not much more vulnerable than "the little death." So it needs reflection regarding how it feels being vulnerable with each other again.

Space. Definitely.
