Thanks 25 for really being so straight up about this (it was hard to hear some of it, but it is so spot on). I have read DB, but I obviously still have a long way to go to fully understand and implement it. I will definitely re-read it with this new frame of mind.
It's odd though b/c although I took care of him (mothering instinct) his complaint was that I didn't respect him and didn't submit to him (not servant, but in the biblical sense of it - not sure I really understand that fully either) that he said pushed him away. I am learning to be very introspective about my role in the breakdown of our M. Going to listen to that web cast that Michele emailed about, where Emerson Eggerichs is going to talk about how W's can show respect to their H's and H's in turn can show love to their W's. Just trying to learn how I can improve me whether it's w/ H or not.
Wow, everything is just so correct. I could take every section and just say "I agree". Yes, I guess I do fear that my H will be relieved of guilt b/c I've 'moved on". Yes, he is absolutely missing out on some of the greatest momments in our S's life. So many 1sts he has missed. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Thank you for taking your time to make such a thorough reply!
