Day 13

A little better yesterday too. I wonder if others experience that their SA partner kind of has a mushy mind at least when still in the earlier stages of recovery. I feel like hubs has a hard time planning (or just over thinks and takes too long on this phase), initiating, working through abs completing tasks. He overthinks and over complicates, gets distracted, starts other tasks, doesn’t give himself enough time to complete, is forgetful and ends up making more work for himself. I was about to say I don’t know if I am maybe more critical now, but that’s silly. I am definitely more critical now since discovery of sex addiction. I definitely look at everything differently than before. And I think I was overlooking things in the past that I just don’t want to overlook anymore. I hope this improves. I feel like this probably happens at his work place but I do not think he is really aware of it happening. I think this is the kind of issue he doesn’t really see. And it is the kind of issue that mentioning can hurt his feelings and make him feel bad, which I don’t want to do either (most of the time). So here is where to write it. And discuss with therapist next week.

Gratitude:

  1. MIL seems to be doing well since moving to new place.
  2. SIL visited. Brought super cute clothes and yummy sweet treat.
  3. Fall decor is making its way out inside the house.
  4. Beautiful baby boys
  5. Fam time at the park
  6. Some quiet convo with hubs
  7. All being home together
  8. School shirts finalized
  9. Fam is visiting this weekend and staying at hotel
  10. Semi plan for hubs birthday

Intentions: Continue fall decor, focus on feeding and pumping, move & drink water.

Affirmations: I am a good momma who really loves her children, I am working to improve myself, I am supportive of those around me.
