Dang - I missed the party as well...

(((Gardener))) Wonderful to see you again my friend!I have just started to visit my resentment and while they are few and far in-between, I agree with you 100% when you say...

"I was in reality resenting me for not speaking out on the issues, not addressing them, avoiding the conflict that doing so would have caused and for not leading in this aspect of my R & M with my wife."

What sucks is it takes something like this happening to realize what we should have technically been doing all along. smile

I must be doing something right though, he has contacted me 2 days in a row for mundane crap and I just sit and wait then when I respond I keep it short and sweet - I have finally stopped telling him I love him as well (which still kills me)...

However if we are actually talking on the phone, he never fails to end the conversation with "I love you baby" or "I love you sweetie"...

Not reading into that one though lol - Could just be habit. smile

I did have someone come up to me last night and tell me I was glowing smile

Weird since I look in the mirror and still see the same scared, lost woman I was months ago...

I wonder what others see that I can't see yet?


May All Who Seek To Take My Life
Be Put To Shame And Confusion;
May All Who Desire My Ruin
Be Turned Back In Disgrace.
