Anyone,
You bring up a good point. I too was raised to “be the bigger person” in difficult situations. To love unconditionally, even when they aren’t acting in a deserving way. And I believe this to be the correct way to live my life, but consequently it has put me in situations in which I have been been somewhat of a door mat. I worry this might be one of those situations. It seems today, for perhaps the first time, I am having more than fleeting moments of annoyance at the way she has behaved. This wasn’t a summer fling, we are married, and I deserved to be treated in the ways she said she would treat me or at least given some sort of explanation as to why I was being discarded suddenly. If she truly was trying to decide what she wanted, if she truly wasn’t sure and needed space to think, I am more than willing to lovingly give her the space and time she requests, but if she has decided to move on with her life and is just choosing to leave me out of that loop, then it is wrong and I deserve more respect.
