I am really proud of Scott and myself for how we dealt with our argument over sex. I wrote him my letter, focusing on how I feel and avoiding telling him what I want him to do about it. At first, after he read it, we started arguing. I suggested we stop and that he reflect back to me what I was saying. Afterwards, we came up with the agreement that I will try to give him more of my time for sex when I'm just busy and he will be more respectful when I say no because I'm tired, sick, or not feeling good.
Yesterday was another good day for us. It was a busy day. I had to keep my friend's three kids all day and over night. I also had to take my kids to my nephew's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Scott stayed home (lucky him). It was super crowded. Before I left for the party, Scott ran to the store for me while I made Adi some vegan brownies. He came back with the new Neosporin eczema cream for Adi (nice!)
When I got home, we did our dialogue question. The question was about how we feel speaking out in a group. I felt confident at a 9 on a 1-10 scale. I feel energized by it. He feels panicky at a 7 on a 1-10 scale. He said he has difficulty listening because he's so nervous about his turn coming up. I didn't realize he felt that way.. I just thought he didn't say much in groups because he wasn't really interested.
We ended up making out and loving on each other. Afterwards, we watched a movie which he picked out with me in mind. It was called "A Dangerous Method." It was about famous psychologists, Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. Also, Kiera Knightly plays a patient of Jung's who becomes his mistress. It wasn't my favorite movie, but it was somewhat interesting. Jung had a lot of difficulty letting go of his mistress even though he loved his wife. It was portrayed that his mistress was his true love.
After the movie, Scott told me he could relate to Jung. I guess he was talking about having a hard time letting go of Julie. I wanted to press him about it, like ask what he really meant, but I was afraid he would say something else that would hurt. Instead I opted for, "Well at least you aren't starving yourself to death." One of the psychologists did that according to the script at the end. I just hope he didnt mean she is the true love of his life, even though he does love me.
