Maybe things are repairable

I let him carry me into the house and put me to bed. Fell asleep pretty quick. Woke up and he was there just watching me a bit teary eyed. He apologized and told me he loved me. Took my hand. I sobbed and told him that this has hurt me more than anything he’s ever done. He didn’t make excuses or try to justify himself, just agreed and apologized again.

I think that softened me a little. I am still beyond hurt but not completely raging out.

I needed his comfort. I will never admit that to him because it now feels too vulnerable. But he can care for me better than anyone and always has.

I don’t know when we will have the Big Conversation or if we ever will. We will see come tomorrow what happens. He’s taking another week off to get himself together and go to appointments. He just has to show me effort to take care of himself.

This moment warmed my heart so much to read. I know this is difficult for you both. Beyond difficult on levels that truly test the heart and soul. The fact that he’s trying though. That he’s listening. Is going to work on himself. That he was right there when you woke up in tears over the pain he added to what’s already there. …I cannot tell you how much I hope your hearts truly align again. This moment was a big step in making that again…a moment that took both of you to open yourselves up to. That says a lot about the love you two have.

I hope it repairs itself, preferably with a talk. I say that for both of you. Much love 💜

@SUPERVlXEN talking might just piss me off again lol. This requires action

It does, but one doesn't exclude the other. And if he really means it you should be open to hear him out to repair things. It also gives you a chance to let him hear you out, no?

You are so caring.

He loves you. He will get his shit together, I hope. He has a hard road too, but he needs to be there for you NOW and should know how much you need.

Tell him. He loves you. Be forceful even if it doesn't feel right

Advocate for you.

A start toward reconciling ..

Sounds like he's owning his mistake.
i am so glad he is trying to make this effort
I hope things calm down.

A man that doesn't make excuses is rare
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@SwampFlower yup, nothing worse than getting hurt by a dude then he tries to make you feel sympathetic for him.

I'm impressed.
