> Nothing hurts as much as unrequited love...out and out rejection might even be easier because being cared for in this capacity just keeps highlighting what we are missing.
YES! EXACTLY!
> ...and that is the whole point, isn't it? I think Orchid is right -- you feel so unloved and uncared for. And you probably aren't getting the love and care you need. Part of what therapy has done for me is allowed me to begin to think that maybe, just maybe, it would be OK for me to like being cared about and taken care of -- at least just a little.
I want to be cared about, loved, treated like a priority. But I wasn't as a child and now I am feeling the same way about my marriage.
I feel like I am on the verge of "finding" that love with someone else. I know you get all of this, will it every be okay in our lives?
