When I got home from working out last night, H was asleep on the bed, in fetal position, and it took everything in me to not wrap my arms around him and kiss him on the head. But, then I reminded myself that the reason he was asleep at 7:00 was because he had been drinking.

Then this morning, as I was getting ready for work, he was out in the kitchen getting breakfast, and there was this palpable tension/pain in the house, and it was so hard to not run to him and hold him tight.

So, I sat on the bed, had myself a good cry, then dressed for the day in a beautiful cashmere sweater that makes me feel warm and cozy, like a big hug, and here I am at work, going on with my life.

But, man, I hate this.

Aw sorry to hear that Eternal Optimist.

I remember being there myself, where your emotions want you to do one thing but you know better. It's hard refraining from doing what used to come naturally.

Time is both your enemy and your friend. It drags on for eternity but helps erase those memories the longer it has been.


Best of luck and God Bless!
