This is an example of what I had also hoped for and don't get...emotional availability. Not all the time, not even some of the time, I would have settled for a little bit of the time! I know men aren't on the same proverbial wavelengths as women (no bash guys) and I know to get the majority of my emotional needs met by other women, but something as simple as a comforting phone call? Could of taken a few minutes of his time and lasted a lifetime.
It's the little gestures like this that I thought I was getting, too. The little moments of interest and caring. And I, too, walked into this marriage blatantly ignoring some glaring red flags because I felt it was too late to turn back now.
But I also believe I have this day and all the rest of my days ahead of me to make my life what I want it to be from now on...its not too late anymore...and I will never again believe it is "too late" for anything.
Hoping you have a good day today regardless of the memories.
