Coming up on One-Year of DB'ing...

[mindfull]

ST

but many times we say things because we are frustrated or mad and the people closest to us are the easiest ones to lash out on.

I have never understood this. I guess I just don't have it in me to purposely say something to hurt someone's feelings, or make them feel bad.

SOOO, before your year of pleading, what would you have done when he said those rude comments?

turned away, shrugged it off...

then, during your year of DBing, what would you have done??

Most effectively, calling him on it... Overall, a mixture of responses...

You gave me something to think about, though. He doesn't just do this to me, he does it to almost everyone. At least there's comfort in not being singled out!

I do agree that you need to start doing something different. and I'm not sure that this half dark thing is it. Do you feel that he has gotten better or worse in the last month?

I've been not initiating conversation for almost two weeks. I can't telling if we are better or worse, but it feels like there's a lot more distance between us. I feel like he's more frustrated w/me.
