It sounds like the taking your time is buliding your selfawareness.

I deeply appreciate Carl and I also appreciate his love but keep in mind we are battling demons that are pretty big for the both of us. We have been through a great deal and hurt one another badly, now it's time for us to find one another again and find a healthy way to love one another.

Yes, my husband was in Iraq and recently our lives kind of blew up around us and we are currently living apart and struggling to find our way back to one another. Right now, we need time to heal both of our hearts and souls. But I also know that we love one another deeply, but sometimes that gets lost in the mess of the insanity of life. We are working on finding one another again and I believe with all of my heart that we will do just that. Thank you so much.

Gosh, I read the title of this entry and thought gee, she found out who wrote the quote! lol I don't know your whole story and couldn't read the past entries to glean anything because the page is cut off but from what I can ascertain....either yourself or your husband were in Iraq and separated? I'm sure this is a monumental experience to live through and I'm also quite sure that both of you wanted what was the very best for each other...yes? To me, this is love. You wanted safety, security, food, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, family, friendship, a smile, a song, a good thought......list is endless here. And these you can ALWAYS HAVE NOW. Right NOW, what is the very best, 'thing' you want for him?

As long as you love yourself the way you want to, you'll be okay.
But loving who you are is not vanity -- it's necessary. People may be attracted to your body or your smile but when it gets down to real love they reflect your idea of yourself as lovable. Also makes it easier to love others... Win-win all the way. You've got some good friends here, good idea to think about counseling. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)pat

A while back I was taught a worthwhile exercise – to look at the man I love and do a mental check list, so to speak, of all the things I love about him rather than ruminating about how I would like him to be. Quite often the “how I would like him to be list” is driven by unrealistic expectations, that psyche killer Cinderella Syndrome, or the past rather than our vision of the future. I found I was quite delighted with the “What I love about him list” and it was a healthy reality check. I’m not saying you have some personal growth to do but be careful what you wish for.

Maybe you and Carl need counselling, perhaps seperately. Have you thought of that? It might help.
