Quote: I still want to work out my marriage, but I needed to stand up for myself!
Have you had difficulties standing up for yourself in the past? I ask because I have been accused of this by my W. When a family member says something about W, my family, or mayself..etc...I really don't say anything. Passive aggressive doormat...Have you made any other progress in this aspect other than the recent powder keg?
I was the same way. I acted like Switzerland! Since the seperation that has changed alot! I put up boundaries with my family, and really stood behind my W. This was a big change, and a huge issue with my W.
The powder keg! Yeah that is an issue! It has happened before. I keep the emmoions in and then they come out a little to aggressive sometimes! has not happened since this spring. Not proud of it. High stress, high emmotions....got the better of me! No excuse! The positive is I got somethings off my chest that I needed to say, and I am glad it happened just not the way it happened! Question: I have to switch vehicles with my W later today, so do I wait for her after her therapist appointment, and maybe talk things out?"
