I'm not stupid, I don't need to be told that this is what being a parent is about. I know that... I just want a safe place in the world with someone that I can confide in
You're right, Heather. And your post made me feel for you. I hope you're feeling better... it's tough being a mom.
I guess what it is, is that to most guys, were they to feel overwhelmed by their fatherhood chores, they would tend to suck it up and say to themselves (or to other guys), "well, that's what it means to be a dad!" And he applies the same to you, perhaps not understanding that a women's needs are different there. "Men are from Mars", after all.
So, to answer your question NY, when someone actually hears what I am saying and validates it, I just feel, well, good. And then I don't feel the need to keep saying it in a multitude of different ways
So it's like tears of relief?
I suppose for you, if your WAW feels at all like I do, her comments would be a good thing for you. Because it means she's emotionally deprived which doesn't say good things about the status of her R with OM.
That's what I suspected as well. Thanks for taking the time to answer me. I don't know, if that's what's happening with my ex, if it constitutes a "good thing" for me or not... I'm actually more sad for her that she's in such a state than what it may portend for me.
