Sage, Reading your last posts I realized that I have been feeling a bit the same ....almost a this is too good to be true sense...waiting for the other shoe to drop or something. It's not a surface feeling, but rather one that lies just below my other feelings...and it is of my own making. I agree that this indicates a need to focus on self love...what do I need to do for myself to feel happy, content, and secure? Bottom line for me, it's an inside job.

It sounds like you are doing wonderful things for your R and your H....do some more wonderful things just for you!

You mentioned being fearful of offering editing comments to H, but he asked for your help! Instead of being fearful of sitch, what else could you do? One way to address this is to compliment something about his paper, then slide in a constructive suggestion or two for change, then compliment something else about paper. It's an old teacher trick called the compliment sandwich!


Hope some of that was useful! If it was, use it...if it wasn't disregard it! That's the great thing about the BB...you just take what you need and leave the rest!


I am responsible for my own happiness.
