[Not Quitting]

Brought over from previous thread:

Yes you should've mentioned that you planned your h's meals and TV viewing before BD, it makes a lot more sense now, lol.

I didn't plan H's TV viewing before anyone points out that was controlling. I would plan my TV viewing around his schedule and his preferences - if he didn't like a show but I did I wouldn't watch it, I'd PVR and watch when he was out.

I'm now realizing just how much of my life was lived to suit H's wants and likes. I wore my hair long because that's what H preferred, I always wore dark colours because that's how he dressed, I would watch or not watch certain TV shows or movies based on his preference, I always cooked the same foods over and over because H was less inclined to try new foods. It took him moving out and me not having him there to give an opinion for me to realize that I wasn't making choices for me, I was making them to suit him. I've changed my hairstyle, as I replace clothes I'm going for lighter, brighter colours and my son and I now have a policy in place that we have to try at least one new recipe a week.
