Am sorry to see that this is still an issue for you...
And thank you for validating that my feelings on the issue are normal and understandable...that means so much to me!
A part of me had been wondering if I was making too big a deal out of it. But having you and Sage both confirm that you'd look at it in a similar fashion...somehow makes me feel better.
Hey, I'm normal, not crazy...and it's just something else to focus my DBing efforts on...rather than taking it personally.
And after all, I know I'd much rather him wear his ring because he WANTS to, not because he feels like he's disapointing me in some way.
Kaw, you said:
... but PnB, where you are at, there may be times where you may inadvertantly pick at a scab over the old hurt which bring about a brief period of pain. So long as you don't continue to pick at it, it will scab over again ... and don't do like I did and pull at the STICHES!
Picking at the scab..that's exactly what I was doing.
Thank you for pointing that out KAW!
The darn thing has been itching lately...but I've been told that just means it's healing...
