You know, another thing has occurred to me, and it unfortunately seems to be a fairly common thread running through a LOT of the posts I read.
I know... very well... what being left behind does to a person's sense of self-worth. I mean, there has been a LOT of times over the last several weeks were my knees just didn't work. I lost it a few times when other stressors would kick my butt on top of all of this.
So I know very well what self-doubt and condemnation feels like, but my question is, who on earth would ever be attracted to someone like that? I mean - if my wife acted like I acted over the last few weeks... I'd probably step over her on the way to the restroom... like she practically did one time. She didn't pity me... and I need to thank her for that next time we talk.
She fell in love with a stand up, almost cocky, man that drew attention from nearly everyone when I walked into a room because I walked with authority. (I was just fresh out of the US Army as a Sergeant) Now... I'm a co-dependent, p-whipped little kid.
I can do better.
The point is, there is a reason that your spouse fell in love with you. Boo Hooing isn't not going to entice them to fall BACK in love with you.
