Thank you for this thread. I have learned much.
I used to post the same question here and in the AA forum, that's a great suggestion from the poster above. To see both sides of the dance.
How does it feel when you love life and want to share it, yet your partner is unavailable?
How does it feel when you say "hello honey" and you get nothing?
How does it feel to expect normal things from a partner yet get nothing?
How does it feel to have any efforts ignored?
How does it feel to want to embrace spontaneity yet have to wait?
How does it feel to face these feelings without any substance to hide or forget them?
What an irony, it seems you are now tasting how life has been like for her.
I wish you all the best in your journey and hope you keep recovering.
