Oh IB I feel your pain. Today especially. If you read my latest post, you'll see that I totally lost it with him today. May regret it later, for for right now, it felt really good to get to tell him how I feel for a change.
I'm a fairly independent person, aware of my own self worth, and I still became entangled in being MSGT. & Mrs. @@@@@@@@. There is a huge difference between being lonely and being alone. Right now, I am alone, but not particularly lonely. The first three months were the worst. The feeling in a crowd that everyone is looking at you, and knows all your darkest secrets. Been there, done that. It does, however, get better. I promise. Even after the day I've had today and whatever consequences I reap from letting him have it.
