So, today is my anniversary and H sent me the "today will always be important because our marriage produced our daughter. You'll always be important to me. I think it's worth acknowledging that, even if things haven't worked out as we anticipated."
There is a new finality in this note. Things "haven't worked out the way we anticipated"?!?!!
Yes, because you anticipated that marriage wouldn't require any work, and I anticipated that my husband wouldn't abandon me.
Holy crap. I've been fine all day and now I am falling apart. Is it just wounded pride I'm feeling? I don't think so. This still feels like such a nightmare. Who is the stranger that just sent me that email? I can't even right now.
