Title: Three days = exhaustion Post by: Seriously? on January 29, 2015, 06:00:21 AM Day 1: My BPDh called me, asked to see me and talk, said he would go to counseling, rescinded the counseling offer after I wouldn't sleep with him; I walked out.
Day 2: My BPDh called me, apologized, re-offered counseling. We had some pleasant conversations on the phone. Day 3: My BPDh invited me over; I reminded him I will not sleep with him. He still wanted me to come. He gave me 2 hours of silent treatment. I calmly said I had to be up early and left. He would not kiss me goodbye. No communication since. Yesterday would have been day 4. As I was thinking about it, I realized how exhausted those three days made me. In the past, I didn't recognize how his ever changing moods and needs threw me into overdrive even if I felt relatively calm and collected. I have been disciplined in the last 24 hours not to think too much about what bothered him that he invited me over only to give me the silent treatment. All I know is it had little to do with me because I hadn't done or said anything I am regretting. I laughed as I drove home on Tuesday night. I couldn't get that "Not my monkeys; not my circus" saying out of my head. I have come a long way, baby. Title: Re: Three days = exhaustion Post by: A Dad on January 29, 2015, 10:41:47 AM |iiii
