Difference

So, Hubby and I have been going to therapy. We have had two sessions already. I feel that things seem to be getting better. More on that another day, but lately I keep flashing back to a brief conversation we had, almost a year ago:

The night we brought Ladybug home from the hospital, she was asleep in her crib and I looked at her. I had tears well up in my eyes and I said to Hubby, "Now there is another person on this earth that I would die for." His response, "Now there is another person on this earth that I would kill for."

I keep thinking of that. Obviously, we were both feeling and stating our incredible love for our daughter and how we would do anything for her...but the innuendoes of our word choices...for some reason, I can't get a grasp. I am not thinking by any means that one of us must love her more...just marveling at how different (similar?) we are, and what our instincts make us say.

That is interesting, isn't it?

I think that men in general see their role as protecting, and women see it as sacrificing for someone....so it makes some sense.

I'm glad you're seeing someone. I hope things continue to look up.

I'm sure I've said both of those. Just as I'm sure my husband has said neither. It's not that I don't think he thinks it, he's just never vocalized.

I just saw your recent post about your wallet. It's not your fault it was stolen or that you can't remember every detail. His anger towards a situation he cannot control just always seems to manifest itself by being a verbal jack*ss.
