Thought I'd throw in a few comments, as worthless as they might be.
From Pep;
Anxiety sneaks in when we don't trust God.
Agree with the stand alone version of that statement, but it is NOT God we are trying to learn to trust again, but, rather a person who has betrayed our trust on a most intimate level. That requires more than faith, but a willingness to be vunerable to such a possiblility that it could occur again, if WS has not learned to recognized their weakness's that exist. That's a huge leap of faith that many a BS are not willing to take at their particular point in the journey. Thus your statement is not simply "one size fits all" as you might conclude.
I feel like I am now always waiting for the other shoe to drop even though my DH could not try harder to make me feel safe. I guess that nothing he ever does will make me feel totally safe because he is the reason that I don't. Does that make any sense?
Perfect sence. I quoted the very same thing in counseling, only to be pishawed away by both C and WW. Then last year, the other shoe did drop with a true revellation of the affair vs the ONS. It only took 7 years for that to finally happen. I know what it is like to live UNDER that shoe for years.
I have extreme trust issues with any woman now and it's over two years later.
I wonder if it's a side effect from the brain injury
Nope, it's the result a HEART injury. For sure!
This is the reason why I had to do the RA and then move to plan D. I think I would be in a world of hurt right now had I not lashed out and then filed D. I just didn't see any other way to keep 90% of the person I was before the A without this approach. I was a great person and I didnt want to lose that, even if it meant losing my M. Ya know?!
But by doing so, you insured that that you lost both, including the "Great Person" you once were. Your ego crushed your great spirit. Hope you recover. Anger will never justify the unjustifyable.
They are human trash...I'm not about to stick my pecker in a dumpster.
Arrogant as that may seem on the surface, it's totally true! Kudos to you Krazy!!
Oh well, JMHO,
All Blessings,
