All of these quotes speak to me. I still wonder if the love I shared with my H was true. I guess only time will tell.
The fear I felt at losing my job, my health, my house and my H, at times has been crippling. Over the last 8 months I have slowly started to accept that these things don't define me. I have let go so many things that I realized I really didn't need, but for years thought I couldn't live without. What I did learn is that I can't live without my children, my close family, my best friend and my animals. They will always be a constant in my life. I still have an unhealthy attachment to my H. I know I can live without him. I have for the past 8 months and most of my adult life, but I really don't want to. I just have to figure out how to un-choose him now and let him go.
One thing I keep thinking about when reading your posts and other men on here....You guys are delving deep into yourselves. You are trying to figure out your thoughts, feelings, uncertainties, triggers. You are trying to become better men, not just for the women in your lives, but your children, other relationships and most important for yourselves. That is so admirable!
