IB

My impression is that he still wants to be connected to you in some way. I would say that the fact that the two of you have decent communication is a good thing. You may not see it that way but trust me if you were in my stich...this email would be a positive.

I think you responded fine. You did not bring up the R. You did not question him at all. I think it was a "matter of fact" type email.

The bigger question is what do YOU see in the email? You know your H better that anyone.

I have another question for you....Should you really be trying to read into any of his email at this time?

I have never had self esteem as a wife or a woman.

Okay you identified a problem the bigger question/harder word is WHY did you not have any self esteem as a woman. What is a woman to YOU?

Quote:
i always put myself down and never felt worthy or beautiful or sexy.

Was this a result of your childhood or your M? Was your H the type to compliment you?

Bottom line IB..is that no one can make YOU feel beautiful or sexy. Only YOU can. Find out what make you feel beautiful and sexy.. once you find out then begin to work on it.

I always felt ugly as a kid. Although I have been told my entire life that i was handsome I never really believed it. It was the result of some serious childhood issues. At the end of the day, you are beautiful because you are you. For me, beauty is defined as more than just a pretty face...beauty is someones spirit, soul..I find beauty in compassion, kindness, meekness, gentleness and strength - so...IB...you have demonstrated all of the above criteria...in my book your beautiful!

God Bless,
Eric
