After I found out about my husband's affair, I was delibrately cruel to him at times. I felt that he must have had no feelings for me, no heart, no conscience to do what he did, so I would provoke him and say the meanest things to him just so that he could feel the pain I was feeling. Also, to prick him, stab him very very hard with my words because I couldn't any other way. Does this make sense?

Holy cow (moo!), does it ever. I was mean and competitive in relationship with The Husband pre-affair, but not to the dizzying heights it rose to post-affair. And the snowball effect of all of it came crashing down on me like a cartoon avalanche. Long road in, long road out. I need a drink.Labels: other people's words |
