Oh, wow! So much to marinate on since I was last here.
This is EXACTLY what I feel about my H. I am showing him respect. Others in my life see that as being a doormat or allowing myself to be hurt. But since I now have boundaries, giving respect to my H has no conditions, nor do his actions define me and my worth the way the once did. Actually, I am more surprised when he is kind. When he is mean, I see this more as a reflection of where he is at, than me. It's pretty awesome.
