Tori, this is so what I think as well. I make sure these days to ask his opinion on things. Maybe that is what he means, just to know he counts and his opinion matters. If I think of it like that it makes sense.
Okay am going to vent here because I can!! So, H's new relationship, because I know he is incapable yet of a) having one with me b) forming a casual relationship for sex c) being alone.
She seems nice....she has two small kids, I think. Has told H she doesn't want them introduced ( obviously, as any sane mother). They are small, I don't know but definitely under eight by the pics, maybe even much younger, hard to tell. H always said he didn't like young kids, couldn't find the time to go to all our kids things and complained every single time. Now he is thinking of an R with a mother of two kids?? WTF?? I am angry well, no, effin pissed is more like it. I know H and I do know that he will not go in this direction, but it doesn't stop me from playing out little scenarios in my head :p
I am rationale but not today. Thanks for the vent folks. H has said that they are at different stages in their lives, so he didn't see it working, but I guess I don't have to understand the whys just accept that he does what he does and he is not me.
I am perfectly aware that if I sit with this a bit longer I will work all the emotions out, but sometimes if I write it down, it goes a lot faster and you guys are great to help the process!!!
