I just realized something, while I was washing dishes. All day today, I've been careening between despair (I'll never have anyone in my life again) and happiness (hey, I've got a pretty good life here). I was in despair mode when it occurred to me: you can be just as alone in a relationship as you can be on your own.
WOW WOW WOW!!
Ok, now some of you may have realized this on your own, but for me, for some reason, this was a huge revelation. Sometimes I need things to really whack me in the head in order to get it. Plus I'm a bit of a closet drama queen, so I'm often too busy being dramatic in my head to realize what's going on.
I often felt quite alone in my marriage but have completely forgotten about it.
Perspective. It's a great thing.
