I had a really good therapy appointment yesterday. It was interesting to talk to my therapist about WarMan, and get his take on things. I really feel like it was a positive conversation that will help me move forward, as I desperately want to do. One thing that he made me see is that hindsight really is 20/20, as as much as I can look back on things now and see the warning signs that it was not going to work out, I can't be hating myself for overlooking them at the time.
He asked me a lot about my still existing relationships, and if I thought there would be fallout. I am happy to say that I think everything is good on that front. PunkRock has taken the brunt of my upset and anxiety, unfortunately, but he loves me and is hanging in there. It isn't his fault that my trust issues are back with a vengeance. He's exasperated, I think, to a certain extent, that I am so out of sorts, but he is going with the flow. I talked to him some after my therapy appointment, at dinner last night, and he loves me lots.

Actually, at a random point out of nowhere, he just said, "I love my wife." He makes me feel appreciated and wanted, and I really need that, more than ever.
I did apologize for being so fucking needy lately, and PunkRock told me that if he needed more space, he'd tell me. Also that he chooses to be there, he is showing up. He wants to be with me. The last few days we've had lots of time together that he could have canceled, if he felt like he was being smothered, and he didn't. So that helped. Because it is totally true. Sometimes I feel like lately I am bouncing from needing reassurance that I am loved, to being anxious about needing that reassurance - that it will cause issues. The therapist says that this is normal, even more so with my attachment issues on top of things, that I need reassurance. As long as PunkRock is fine with it, then I need to be fine with it too. So I will be. I do trust PunkRock to tell me to go away.

He is actually really great about that.
I think the reason I am not as clingy with DarkKnight is because he's got a decade behind him. PunkRock and I have only been together for a few years. Also, he had that rocky patch with his emotions in January. So I still feel like I need to check in and get reassurance.
It's all good.
I think if I keep repeating that, it will be!
Bad news is that WarMan did not keep his previously scheduled therapy appointment. The therapist asked if I thought he would show, and I thought not. However, I know that the office calls as a reminder, so why WarMan wouldn't call to cancel or reschedule...I don't know. I ended up leaving late because our session went long, and then the therapist obviously had a free hour since WarMan didn't go. This made me sad, because WarMan DESPERATELY needs therapy, in my opinion. The therapist had a lot of insights, actually, on WarMan's issues, that seemed spot on when we talked, so I hope he called and made another appointment. Unfortunately though, I don't think he did. I texted him after I left, to tell him that hey, you missed your appointment and you should probably call. He didn't respond, so that's all I sent.
I have a box of stuff that WarMan left behind, sitting on my porch. He told me he'd come pick it up, but he didn't. There are some medical bills, and a fan, and his TV remote. I don't really know how long it is going to sit out there, but I am not going to have it there for very long - my class is starting next week and it is inappropriate for it to be there. So probably I will give it til Saturday and then I am going to chuck it all in the trash. Hopefully he stops and grabs it at some point. I am done texting him about anything, honestly. The medical thing I will just put back in the mailbox, please forward or something like that. Even if he asked me about the fan, if he wants it, he'd come get it, I think. I don't want it here, it's like, negative baggage.
Um - positive stuff! Kittens! My daughter and I have been working on PunkRock's old bedroom and it is almost ready to house some foster babies! We have a couple of different options and I am unsure which bunch of kittens we will end up with. We were thinking of taking two single kittens and housing them together, but we may instead get this sibling group of 5 with no mom. Or, a mom with 4 babies. It's up in the air at this point, but we are going to the shelter at around 3:30, when PunkRock gets home from work.
