Have you ever considered how hard/confusing/unclear it is for Gabe to be in an R with someone who hides her feelings, pretends to be someone she's not, doesnt trust her own judgement or decisions, acts like all is fine but gives off wierd vibes and then later either cries or has a meltdown???
Just wondering Mish how you and Gabe are even managing to function as a couple with the way you describe how YOU feel and how unsure in yourself you are. Neverlone his wierdness!
I think its pretty selfish of anyone to not buy their loved one at least one gift at Christmas.. but then Christmas is a big deal in the UK (we dont call it "happy holidays", or have Thanksgiving, its just Christmas afterall). Seriously, does this not hurt or p*ss you off?? Like OT says, if he acts wierd, its because HE feels bad/guilty whatever and feels that he is letting you down all the time. Men hate to feel inadequate and like they are failing, right. DB 101.
I wish there was some way to wave a magic wand and make you be able to rise up and live your life without regrets. It still early days you know, you only just lost your Mum, thats HUGE. Have you spoken to Gabe about your feelings of loss??
Love and hugs to you xxx
