Being there for each other during our darkest times, isn't that what unconditional love is all about?
That is exactly what it is all about, T. Loving without conditions.
I'm really not feeling a hug today. If by some crazy miracle he hugs me, then great. But I'm not giving him one, feel like it would be forced.
You feel what you feel. Trust your wonderful instincts. I honestly can't thank you enough.
You are so very welcome. T. There is no greater joy for me than to know I may have helped you in some way.
That weight on my chest is very heavy right now. You would think I would be excited and happy for him to come home. And a part of me is. But I am feeling such stress and anxiety.
I know exactly what you are feeling. You do not know how this has changed your feelings or his.
I think because my expectation is that he will come home and go on and on about how great his trip was, in a sense rubbing it in my face. Even if that isn't his intention.
So I'm trying to prepare for that.
I get the trying to prepare yourself for that possibility, but, dont get ahead of yourself here. Get into the right mindset, T. A very pleasant, sounds like you had a nice trip, good for you kind of a thing, right?
It might be easier if I didn't still feel that connection between us. But I do. And I think underneath the depression fog, he feels it too.
It would be easier, but, then you wouldnt still be standing. I believe he feels it, too. The thing is, his crisis is preventing his heart from getting to his jello brain.
You are exactly where you are supposed to be on your life's journey, T. Doesnt mean you will always be in this spot, but, this is where you are supposed to be today.
