Quote: anyone that cares to join in and take a break from beating themselves up and holding themselves up to too high standards is welcome! We'll window shop and have leisurely coffee breaks and buy a small trinket or two and read trashy magazines as often as possible.
Count me in! Ready, willing & able!
Quote: Dinner was great and afterwards I finally said "I'm feeling jealous of ff" and he looked alarmed and said "I'm not attracted to ff" and I said "I'm not asking if you are...I'm just telling you I'm feeling jealous because the two of you spend more time together of late than we do". (Big whiny bad DB'ing sage! Not even listening to him! arrgh!)
Two things:
(1) I thought you said in paragraph 2 that this was "cutting Sage...some slack" week!
(2) BRAVO! I don't see it at all as big whiny bad DB'ing Sage at all. You have given it much consideration, and it remained something that was bothering you. You do need to be able to be honest with H. and tell him when things are bothering you.
Sage, you have worked very hard at creating an environment where you both feel safe to talk to each other and be honest with each other. AND that includes YOU! Could you have said it better or differently, maybe - but who knows? The important thing is that you spoke up and H's response was warm, calm and open.
Good going! Now let's get back to that window shopping, huh?
