Because you miss your spouse. You miss being able to hug them, or kiss them, or snuggle with them, or make love to them the way it was when things were better.
Because you want it to be better now. You want to enjoy the relationship that you had before the bomb (or better).
Been there, done that.
Trent... you hit the nail on the head. That's it. Exactly. Wow... I really, really miss him. So much it physically hurts. Sometimes the loneliness.... well, I'm sure everyone who is here on these boards understands...
So, I need to give myself permission to feel that. It is valid, it is real. I just have to not get stuck in it. Shake it off by the time H gets home and get back to DBing. Man, it's hard work isn't it? We should all get some kind of award for this...
Amazing what someone validating your feelings can do to lift your spirits. Thanks Trent!
