OMG!!!! You guys are too funny!!!!! Please hijack anytime. My thread can always use some comic relief.
I have to admit I have been very unsettled. Last night I went to the gym late and then Starbucks so I could avoid my husband. I was even thinking of going out with girlfriends tonight to avoid him some more, but this morning I got a little more of my concerns and worries out (in a good way). I told him some things that bothered me (things I'd probably just hold in and stuff inside. Unfortunately, stuffing things can be damaging too...).
There was a little tension in the exchange, but it WAS communication rather than avoidance (which is a problem we've both had in the past). It wasn't fighting or blaming, but I was sharing some of my feelings. My husband then left for work. About 10 minutes later he returned with a bouquet of flowers and thanked me for talking with him. I immediately started crying (happy crying) and hugged him. Am I easily bought or what????
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
