So I realized I totally dismissed her trying to get me to listen when she mentioned having rent money. I said that's fine it's your business and that was that. Then I realized she was looking for me to validate her feeling of excitement and nervousness. She came back later and said she is nervous. So I listened. She explaine she is nervous about the change and how hard it's going to be Me: I understand it's a big change there is going to be a lot of differences. W: it's going to be hard ( she is scared) M: yes it will not be easy and ..... W: ( now angry at me). This is why I don't talk to you. It's gonna be hard! I'm looking for it will be ok M: ( deep breath first). If I could have finished it will be hard and you have always been a strong smart woman that can get through the hard. W: that would have been a better place to start instead of your therapist bs. Me: i came here to listen not anger you by doing so And I went to bed as did she. I get she's angry and scared. And that doesn't bother me. What's bothering me is did i do or say something wrong? Should I have not been caring and supportive. Was I not? I realize this was R talk but she came to me. Wtf just happened.
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
