Friends: Season 5--New perspectives

[SadBurl]

WOW Betsy. Incredible. Well down for not exploding and throwing a fit. I got angry reading that and I'm an outsider. I guess that's one of the good things about a letter you can read it digest and then really think about it.

The fact is, I want something from you, and I want you to give it to me freely. I want you to initiate conversations like these with me so that you don't bottle your feelings indefinitely and so I don't have to break down in order for you to take my request seriously.

Wow how many of us have though or spoke these words. Like Pam said:

It's not the timing, it is the fact that they have to deal with things that they don't want to deal with.

My H gets so uneasy when I try to talk about feelings. And always finds a way to change the subject. I used to explode at this, now I just softly point out what he's doing and get back to the topic in hand.

I think you did wonderfully with your follow up conversations. You at least gave him something to think about. I loved the part about his father. You have a great insight into people.

You know what place you're at I hope MW can get there too and think of you soon

God bless
