Job......everything that you said makes so much sense to me.
I honestly never thought that this whole issue with his parents was really about him and his need for acceptance. Before BD he did not have a close relationship with his parents or sibling, but after, he made such an effort to communicate with them way more frequently then he ever did before.
He is someone who needs "words of affirmation" often. That has been something difficult for me to do. I have made progress, but definitely not as much as he would like me to do.
I had a friend tell me that H is "a man in a boys body" ..... now more then ever is that becoming apparent to me.
We are not speaking right now. I worked for the past 3 days and did not hear one word from him all of those days. Then this morning, after he got home from working out, he says "good morning SKM"......I just kept doing what I was doing and did not respond. Things like that can drive a person crazy!!!
I already feel that he has chosen his parents, so I do wonder why I am still here
This is going to be a LONG process!!!!
This weekend is our wedding anniversary. I am going to do my own thing and act as if it is just another day.
