Stranger In My House Part 2

[may22]

I will be purchasing myself Valentine's Day flowers as well! And chocolate covered strawberries and prosecco. Yay me!!!! Learning to show MYSELF some love! May also book a facial or some other spa service for V Day weekend.

Ok wait...maybe I am getting a little too carried away with this thing! LOL

OMG NO!! You are not! Put that into dude terms and imagine your H saying:

I will buy myself a beer and snacks! And a new baseball hat/album/sports jersey/whatever floats my boat this month! Maybe I'll even go get myself a haircut and then sit around and watch the game without doing any laundry first... Whoa... too much! i'm getting carried away!

No. no no no. (I mean I have no idea what your H would equate to buying yourself prosecco and getting a massage but my guess is he would do it in a heartbeat and think you were crazy for thinking he should feel guilty.)

You deserve to treat yourself. You are not getting carried away-- you're not even CLOSE to getting carried away. I used to think like this too (and still need to beat it down a little bit), and it also fed my resentment. Think about it like taking back your power to manage your own mood-- taking pleasure in the small things and not letting his (as the CL would say) f**kwittery get you down, and not letting your resentment get the better of you.
