Like running in circles.<BR/><BR/>Great post!Jadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13299246730006487886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003394288874904171.post-89205948504049675622008-10-09T05:20:00.000-07:002008-10-09T05:20:00.000-07:00My husband and I were having a similar conversation last night. When I met him I was completely myself and he fell in love with the "authentic me." Then I fell into my usual routine of trying to become exactly what he wants and do anything and everything to make him happy. By the time we got married I was a mess. I took everything personally. The house was a mess because of me, dinner wasn't ready because of me, etc. Almost three years later we've worked through a lot of my self esteem issues and I finally believe him when he says "its not your fault. I'm not blaming you." So even after I found the man I wanted to marry I had to deal with being ok with what I had to offer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
