That Was Close

Yesterday was hard. My wife got frustrated, and used some pretty strong language to express it. "I'm done, I can't take it anymore," was the highlight, with "Done" and "No more" repeated a few times.

I handled it really well. Listened, was supportive, didn't lose my composure, didn't have to start packing bags and looking for somewhere to live. I've been a bit numb since. I think I'm ready to admit that I'm scared. That I was scared.

That sounds like a hard day indeed. I'm sorry. But good for you for handling it like that. I am not in a relationship but I understand how scary it must be to fear that maybe it's all done. I hope things get better for you two.

Ironically, things have been getting better for some time, and were really good immediately afterwards. But when you stop walking on eggshells, you risk treading on toes.

I think you're really brave to share what's happening, and even more so for sharing your feelings. :geek:

Also nice to see you're focussing on the positives

Well done mate :tup:

You're so right. Relationships and their brittleness is profoundly scary. To counter this fear, I try to feel more self-confident in my ability to be happy on my own, if that were called upon or necessary. It's hard, I know. I panic.
