I am making progress
Permalink  

I went by my husband's house last night to pick up my Check Visa that was mailed there.  This was the first time I have seen him or even spoke to him since I left 3 1/2 weeks ago.  I was able to hold myself together.  I went into the house, picked up my mail and didn't try to engage in any conversation with him and then I left.  That is a big step for me because in the past I have "lingered around" waiting to see if he wanted to talk about what happened.  I am feeling like I am taking back some of the power I gave to him over me back.  It was a good feeling.


 


Thanks,


Julie

Bless you. I'm still struggling with the 'lingering' I go through with something as small as waiting for him to say or do something that will put my mind at ease (which never,never happens) when he comes home tipsy/drunk. It's like I'm waiting for a voluntary apology..an explanation as to why he insists on drinking all day..for him to tell me I'm right and he'll do anything to make me comfortable. useless lingering.I just end up being more angry, he's still clueless and all I had to do was walk away. I admire you for doing that;I'd have been doing the linger dance as well...especially after 3 and a half weeks;under the delusion of ANYthing good coming from it.


Bless your strength for walking away instead of hanging around for nothing.
