So sorry to hear the change of events Sanderika. Hugs to you. Hope your son had a terrific first day. And of course, you can always post here.
Hi Rabbit, thanks as always for your stories and examples.
Went interstate with friends to see Westside Story. It was great fun. H took me to the airport and picked me up, too. He is away this weekend and next. Neither trip involves ow.
On discussion of finances (he's still done nothing but he mentions it every now and then) I said," Let's get this sorted out. i don't want to hold you back in any way." He replied, "You aren't holding me back from anyone or anything."
We had a disagreement tonight. It was a minor thing he had not told me about. I know this is an area of sensitivity for me. I feel that given the loss of trust It's important for me to be informed about things. He was annoyed to begin with and said he would never please me but when I explained properly he was fine. It was a good example of how we will have to reach new understanding in the future, even as friends and how he thinks I am too difficult to please. The challenge is to continue speaking my truth but in a positive way that does not show I have unrealistic expectations.
the positive of it all is that he didn't hang up on me, ignore me or shout at me which is what he would have done in the height of his MLC.
