That is something I still can't believe in a way that he put me through, to ask to go out in public to see the show, (her show I think), to be made fun of that way. Did he hate me? I know it needs to not matter why he did it as I'll never know and he probably doesn't know either.
My guess is he was so enamoured of her and wanted to see her show that it didn't matter what he put me through, that he never even considered that aspect of what he was doing.
Pam, this is a GREAT job of depersonalizing what happened and seeing the shades of gray in a sitch (instead of ASSuming it's black/white)!!!
And I love your idea of writing down your self talk ... I think you'll be surprised at how noting it can help you turn it around.
