Soon after lunch, I sent W a text letting her know I enjoyed lunch and appreciated the conversation. Her reply surprised me.

she basically said she understands where I was coming from when I was unhappy. Acknowledges we weren't communicating, says she loves me and maybe we'll be able to "rekindle the passion". Ended with an i love you and promises we'll talk again.

This is the first time I've ever felt calm about us. in a looooong time.


Resentment occurs when we aren't doing what we need to care for ourselves, though we expect others to do it for us.
