Trying to find our way to happiness II

[ValerieA]

Hi, Slowly.

I'm glad I opened up to my mom. I feel so much better knowing that she's being very supportive of me with this. I was afraid I would hear, "You need to leave him! Blah blah blah...", because she was betrayed, too, in her past Ms. Thankfully she didn't because that would not have been what I wanted to hear.

It does seem and feel like there is so much still missing here, but you're right about the positives and how they are growing. WHY do I always seem to overlook something as this when it is so valuable and so important to me??? UGH!!!

...'he cares enough to know the truth will be hurtful'...

Sounds like this way of thinking could be beneficial to me as well. I'm going to try this approach and see if it helps. Thanks!

I feel like I have been doing better, too, with letting things roll. That's pretty much what I'm doing when I write my "oh well"s . Just my little way of reminding myself that I cannot control anything or anyone but myself.

Thank you for your thoughts and insight, Slowly. It's greatly appreciated !

PS -- cally, I'll respond to your post later tonight -- getting ready to go to MIL's for a bit. I haven't spoken with H today so far, so.... .... no info on a C appt yet. I'm sure I'll talk to him tonight though.
