I'll follow your advice on not mentioning the betrayal and abandonment again. I am glad that I said it to him, but it won't be something I dredge up again and again. I bet it came as a surprise to him because of the scenario he has created in his head.
You're so right about his likely not wanting to hear all my feelings but asking that I share my feelings. He won't want to hear things that are painful or might evoke guilt, but he continues to want me to share and discuss my emotions and thoughts. So strange. I think it's safer for him to keep believing or telling himself that I didn't think he mattered and that I was so strong that I could easily make it with or without him.
I'll review that part of DR. And now for the next post!
