I’m still so lost -Pt 2

[Pattnee5]

Thanks Kind, I know I need to work on my emotions more and stand up for myself. Usually I would have been a mess for days but I got to work, felt good and had some laughs.
When I received his text this morning telling me about his plans for the day and that he was going to take some space I read it and didn’t respond. I just left it and drove to work.( in the past I would have jumped straight onto it) bugger it I wasn’t in the wrong at all.
Then a few hours later got a long apology text. Wasn’t expecting that but in a nutshell basically apologised for storming out when he felt himself getting angry and should have handled it better, then proceeded to tell me some stuff he has done around the house to “make up for it” as a way of apology.

Guess what❓I didn’t respond when I read it!!
Haha I am so proud of me. I was having too much of a laugh at work and didn’t really want to knee jerk my response I wanted to think about what to say.

A few hours later I just responded with a simple “ Thankyou for the apology and doing the errands around the house”
And that’s it- again words ringing in my ears less is more.
At the same time I didn’t want to say anymore.
I just feel very detached today, as in that overreaction and trigger was unnecessary and I am not to blame. I want to enjoy my day now and weekend and not think about it or dwell on it.
And if it’s space he wants he can have it because honestly today I feel like I want space too 🥰🙂
