My wife had her appointment with her therapist today, and as always I went along and waited in the waiting room. I half expected to get called into the session because I'm sure it was all about me. It didn't happen.
Instead she walked out with a big wad of tissues. She could have thrown them away in the office but I'm sure she wanted me to see them. She wanted me to have pity on her and to feel guilty. I won't do it. No More.
The fact is there are a lot of people worse off than she is. She is not terminally ill. She just likes to act like she is. She craves attention like a child. But she is not a child. And I am not her parent.
I have doted over her for years, saying reassuring words and making sure all her needs were met. Saying no to almost anything led to pouting, crying.....and for me, guilt.
Screw that! I'm not going to be manipulated any more. I know where I belong and it's not here. I wish I could help her. I can't.

HH - I would think this would be very hard to do, as you seem like a very genuine and nice Man.
So I send my strength to you to continue to think like this.
Hope things start getting better for you.
