Re: Hit the nail on the head

Thank you, you're not so bad yourself...

Some very good points you made:

"If you think that he can't sense his level of emotional importance to you just because you've never voiced it, you're sadly mistaken."

"Life is NOT "all about me,"

"My husband and I live on a very tight budget, and we have from the beginning. However, I would much rather count pennies with him at the dining room table and laugh our heads off over one of our adventures together than sit alone in a McMansion with a Hummer in the driveway and build an empty, lonely existence for my Self."

"Perhaps, you'll meet up with MY ex, my dear! He'll wine you, dine you, tell you what a wonderful person you are and...once you've entered into that legal, binding contract of marriage, he'll burn you down and leave you in emotional, physical, sexual, financial, spiritual, and mental tatters."

They avoid those types.  They are those types.

"Your daughter is watching you, closely, and you haven't taught her anything positive about being an empathetic, sympathetic, caring, loving, independent, self-sufficient human being."

I wonder, 2ss, if you've ever even experienced true, honest intimacy...intimacy does not equate sex and isn't confined to heterosexual relationships.

I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count (as my mother always used to say when I would ask a silly question).
