Gogofo - no longer piecing 2nd BD - pt. 2

[gogofo]

About your W's unrealistic expectations, I don't remember if those are her descriptive words or yours, but I would guess there were unrealistic expectations on both sides. We all have our unspoken needs and it's usually those that bring a R to its knees.

Indeed! The unrealistic expectations was her wording and her explanation. She knows that it is unrealistic and I think is slowly (I hope) changing what love actually is. We can't keep our needs secret or they will never get met.

Another thing to remember, growth in this area isn't linear, it's full of fits and starts.

Thanks for this, I kind of assumed it would be linear and never figured it would come in chunks. It makes sense when looking back at the growth we had made previously.

There are things here for you to learn about yourself. I've said this many times and it only becomes more true. While painful, this experience taught me so much about me and forced me to work on things I needed to work on.

When being introspective I realized what I had become that I did not like. I don't know why I became that person, but I think part of it was being so focused on education and career for so many years kept me acting selfishly. Not a good feeling.
