I'm posting again because I just realized some things. A friend told me her husband did a similar thing to their pets when he was going through a rough time at work. Her husband called it the food chain effect.
I was telling my friend about the whole massage session thing that I was so hurt over, and I realized while I was talking that we had joked some during the session and that over all it was really a good time.
C had told me that my biggest challenge was making sure I don't get emotionally drained. I'm drained right now and I think that's part of the problem.
In great DB fashion, I have determined that when I make jokes about H's behavior, he reacts better than when I am serious. I think I need to find my sense of humor today.
