Another thing I was thinking about fear/walking on eggshells/detachment- I think what happened over the weekend was a good practice. I didn’t stay quiet because of fear. I was just mad at myself for not saying anything. So maybe that’s an improvement on my part. On one hand it’s my usual response where I was ruminating on my feelings again, but it wasn’t a “I wanted to say xxx but I didn’t want to create conflict.” Now I just need to work on not even being mad at him or myself anymore.
