I went to the library over the weekend for the 5 Love Languages book- it was missing/presumed lost. Guess someone needed it more than me! I will have to drop by Border's later today when I am out shopping. I get the message of it from a lot of the reading I do here, but I would like to explore this in depth.
I had an ephipany last night! So silly of me actually, as many of you have said the words "OW is a symptom of the problem..." so many times, yet the words never sunk in. Well, suddenly they did. No wonder I was such a B@#!* to live with for all of those years! I was fighting as though THAT was the problem. No wonder my H withdrew.
I went to bed last night and said, "I need to tell you something." (I always follow this with: "This won't be a long talk, I promise!") I apologised for my behavior regarding his A. I said that I realize now that it was just a symptom, and I wasted so much valuable time treating it as the actual problem. (I cannot believe that this is all just now making sense!!!) Anyway, he really appreciated it. I will spare you the rest of the details- after all, Meredith thinks some are too squeamish to even discuss her method of birth control- If that's the case I will stop here. Let's just say it was a good night!
I will not get over excited though. One step at a time. Someday, though, that boy will tell me he loves me. I am working on having the patience to wait it out. Oh, yes, and he will get his ring back onto his finger.
Thanks, Betsey, for listening. I could have turned yesterday into a mess. Instead, it turned out to be a great day. I could never have these days without all of you guys who are selfless enough to jump in and guide me in the right direction!
