And one more before I cut myself off from my own thread tonight.
Finishing up Radical Acceptance (total recommendation by the way), the author talks about when we are caught up in our own drama, everyone else becomes an "other." We don't think about their needs or their hurts, in fact we perhaps categorize them as "unreal or unfeeling."
So, while in the midst of all my pain, I was unaware of my H's pain or drama. Partially because the enormity of the situation I was in, and partially because I assumed that he would speak up about anything that had bothered him. He didn't. And he was hurting with his own issues just as much as I was with mine (I'm assuming here). He felt pressure to keep me happy and support me, while doing so, perhaps at his own expense.
I feel like such a shitty wife and person as well.
No more posting on my own thread tonight.
I'm cutting myself off.
