Quote: can imagine that you are just trying to maintain some equilibrium so you aren't thrown off the scale
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Truthfully, I think that he is helping to the capacity that he is able to help (that in and of itself is a positve). He’s also facing a lot of muck, and while he’s certainly not proved to be the most honest creature on God’s earth – I do believe he’s trying to step up and do what he can.
The problem with that is simply that he can’t do very much. He’s so non-verbal that helping me through my own fears and tribulations seems to be the mission impossible for him. I need words - he has none. Rather like the infamous blood from a stone problem.
So, the positives:
We have plans together this weekend.
We’re addressing the financial problems together.
He actually apologized on his own last night – without me begging for it.
Those are all the positives that I’m feeling for right now, but each is pretty significant. I won’t list the negatives and counteract what I’ve just written. I need to focus on the positives, strictly.
