Maybe it's time to get back in my hula hoop?

I think that my RABF took one of my sleeping meds, but I'm not completely sure. Of course, he denies it. They didn't work for me, so I had to return the remaining pills to the pharmacy to get new meds. There was at least one less pill than there should have been. He got pretty angry about me asking him about the med. His anger makes me think that he was caught in a lie. That's often how he acts when he's been found out.

It annoys me, because it seems to be some of the old behavior. However, in general he seems to be doing pretty well. He is back to work, and has an old (sober) friend coming to visit in a couple of weeks. He's still meeting with his psych. So, my point is, maybe I just need to worry about my own stuff and not think about this ridiculous one pill.

BB,

It is difficult, but exactly the same sort of thing I posted about earlier this morning.

Time to get back to minding my own business and focusing on myself.

I agree also that life is so much better inside our own hula hoop.

Time usually tells me if my instinct is correct, worrying about it in the meantime never changed the outcome for me.

Enjoy your life, protect your medications, and show up and let life happen.

Hugs

Thanks. I have been under a lot of stress with sick pets and I think that's making it hard to stay in my hula hoop. Last night, he accused me of being "overbearing." That upset me because I know he thinks his mom was that way, and I feel that way about my grandmother. It really annoyed me to have him labeling me that way. I think we are reaching a difficult point between me trying to learn to stand up for myself, and me being pushy. I'm finally learning to stand up for what I want. I'm also done with putting up with his excuses and not following through with promises. So, if that makes me pushy--whatever.

I think we've had some growing pains lately. He's been changing & I've been changing, and I think we're trying to feel our way around.

I hope your pets are better! Having several of my own, I understand the stress when they are not well.

I too tend to relapse into old patterns when I'm stressed and I try to practice HALT. Never get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired. It seem the fatigue (both physical and emotional) are what usually kick me pretty hard.

Hang in there, and keep posting! :ghug3
