Baiting and button pushing are ways to get you riled up, so in their minds you are an angry, crazy, unpredictable ( insert adjective here ) wife . It validates why they "have" to leave you, or the marriage.
Thank you Ambi for that insight. You are right, blocking me in the hall was probably intentional button pushing, how dare I try to walk past and not give him the attention he thinks he deserves.
I found out last might my Dad is having some health issues too, so really today was just hard all around. I KNEW after the grocery store talk that I just didn't even want to see him again today, that I would be better not seeing him. Because all I want right now is someone to hold me and tell me things will be okay, and he isn't that person right now.
I have my first therapy session on Monday. It still seems so far away.
