Posted by Razel Davies on 03/13/09 at 10:41 AM "yet I'll be glad to see him", yes, it makes perfect sense. Love is often spoken of as an opposite to hate, but in fact it encompasses that emotion as well as all others. Not that you really feel hate in this case, but your hurt and pain come from the strength of your love. |
Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 03/14/09 at 03:20 PM Sounds like he's become accustomed to misdirecting all the things he's mad about onto you. Sometimes people who resort to this are privately ashamed. Sometimes, with authentic discussion they can turn this destructive method of dealing with life around.
I hope it softens your pain to know that this stuff is NOT your fault. And it is likely , in the truth that he does love you, that this is a horrible learning phase he's going through. Still, the cruelty of explosive untrusty personalities stings seemingly endless. Write me. |
