I feel your frustration, but I'm so impressed with the way you handled the conversation, and the way you handle everything in general.
You gave your W an "easy way out" and she didn't take it! I think your W is really trying to come out of the funk, it's just taking a very long time. You've given her so much support, don't stop now! She needs it!
I think you're on to something about the "disturbance in the force". I was not able to remain calm. I completely blew up on H. I'm not proud of it, but it happened. Well, H still seems to be "here", but now I don't know what to do.
Be strong, Rick! Show people like me how important it is to be patient and calm!
Thanks for your kind words and friendship.
I'm sorry you had the blowout. I don't know...we're human with a massive range of emotions and thoughts. I say give yourself a break...it happens. I'm sure the most evolved of us lose it. I remember hearing about Ghandi pissed off at his wife because she didn't clean the outhouse well enough.
I'm doing my best with this...not easy. I am just starting to get the part about focusing on myself. Actually implementing into my daily life is what I'm working on.
