I read that book, and yes I understand. I have the respect part down pat. He told me he feels respected and loved by me. I guess I am impatient, because I want to feel that way too. I should know better, I have been on this journey for years. I have to go back to zero expectations. I need a latte...extra whipped cream. CHOCOLATE!! A cigarette. He called me a little while ago. He was very sweet and was trying to make me laugh. I know he loves me. I also know we are rebuilding and we are both afraid. I also know once he is really home I will feel much better.
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
