So hard not to try to grade each encounter, assigning points to how well I stuck to DB principles or not. Today, it must have been about 50/50, I don't know.
I slipped up and let a few things come out about how she will take her issues to another relationship, etc. etc. And I may have focused too much on myself by expressing how hard it was to go from making a new life in a new house to being left at the old place with no car, etc. And I did point out that the way I acted for the last few years was due to depression, not that I'm some kind of monster...
But sometimes when you wake up to an anger filled email, discussions of the big D and such, it's all you can do to hit 50%, ya know?
On the other hand, I did try my best to reiterate how I understand why she felt unfulfilled, unloved, etc. And I thanked her for discussing things this much and said we hadn't talked that much about anything in ages.
