Sometimes...

... the answer to the question 'Are you mad?' is 'Yes' but it's just not worth the fight.

... the answer to the question 'Are you ok?' is 'No.', but I don't have the words to explain it.

... I just want to sit and stew in my anger for a bit before I get over it.

... I KNOW that I'm overreacting, and I don't really care.

... there will have to be an apology made and I'm trying to figure out how to say it.

... I just need to process everything before I can have a conversation about it.

... I'm just so damned mad at you that I don't *dare* speak for fear I'll say something I can't take back.

... I just want you to 'get it' without me drawing you a map.

... I don't want to play the games we play.

... I know that I have a bad attitude and I just need some time to fix it.

... I feel like I'm doing this alone.

... you surprise me and say the most wonderful things.

... I just don't have the energy.

... I just want to fight.

... I need a break. Or a nap. Or maybe a nap AND a break.

... I'm jealous of you.

... I go upstairs and smell your robe when you're at work, because I miss you.

All the time, I love you.

Those are probably the most normal and healthy things that you say or think or feel in a marriage.

That was normal. There's this silly country song that says that. I just want to be mad for a while. I totally get it.

I can relate to this....its not always nice, but you can come back to the point where love is the common denominator.

Just lurking around and loved this post.
I've been trying to pin that down for....well, a long time. I keep wondering, wanting to ask if there are others out there like me.
Thank You.
