Epiphany
I had an "Aha!" moment this morning reading a post about marriage. The author asked, "Are you trying to get your partner to love you? Marriage is about focusing your intention on loving the other person as best you can, while trusting that they are doing the same."
I've been doing a pretty terrible job at loving K as best I can. I have plenty of excuses for why I've been acting/speaking the way I have towards K lately, but I know one thing for sure, it has been a piss poor job of loving her. I've spent a lot of time feeling my own emotions (and asking K to hear me talk about them) while disregarding her emotions and needs. In fact, she confronted me about it twice recently and I responded poorly both times, crying and defensive.
I'm going to apologize tonight and set my intentions towards the growth of this awareness. She is the love of my life and I ought to be treating her that way.
