Great reminder Kat!! That is a TRUTH that no one can deny!
I had a talk with H last night--said I was so, so sorry this was going to happen. I feel bad. He said he feels "used" and I validated that he must feel really bad about that.
My H has read a tiny bit of the 5 LL book and absolutely insists that he is Words of Affirmation. I told him if that was the case, I had it wrong (it is his second LL, first being physical). Then he admitted I had worked like a dog doing acts of service for him. I said, H, at least you see that I was trying my hardest all that time and again, I apologize if it was the wrong direction--I didn't know.
He was screaming--IF ONLY YOU HAD SHOWN ME THAT BOOK BEFORE. Well, here is the thing--he BARELY read it after-the-fact, and it was only because the very last C mentioned it. I have read dozens of R-type books and while this is a favorite, there are others that I like too. He's focusing on this one but...would he have read it 6 years ago? In my heart I know the answer is no.
So again, I go over what I "could have done" but again I really do get a sense of peace. He went on to call me all sorts of names, and then invited me to play a game I love!! Sheesh--so I did play and we had a good time and OH WELL!! It doesn't change anything and I've gotta leave or be late for mediation!lol.
Thank you Kat!!!! I'll probably move over to your neck of the woods here soon and stop focusing on my H so stinkin much!lol
