His needs

I am at a very happy time in my life

M

sigh

M is not.

and I hate it
I hate that he's struggling
that

he's on the brink of depression.

life has treated him roughly of late
and it's just unfair.

He's a strong man
a proud man

and to hear
that slight crack in his voice
last week
was heart rending

I want to fix it
I want to help

but I cannot

We are trying hard to make time for each other this weekend
if not this weekend
I don't know when it would be again
as the following weekends are tightly booked

He needs me
and I need to go to him

to give him a day of peace
and relaxation

he needs a day
where he is in control
of the outcomes

so often
I think about our time together
about getting what I need

selfish girl
but
we're all a bit selfish sometimes

but this time
what I need
is to give him
what he needs
nothing more

my poor exhausted man.

  1. SFP,

    Not saying it's not hard on everyone but for these dominant types its really hard when the world just spirals out of their control. Or they realize they can't control everything or everyone...

    Sending big hugs to you and to him

  2. I call it being the "pressure release valve"- cuz there have been times when "we" are the only thing going right in his world. And that is SO hard to watch...

  3. @mouse -- I think you're right. I think being so out of control is very tough on the Domly ones

    hopefully he can carve out some time this weekend for us -- otherwise

    well -- I hate to think about the otherwise -- I think it's another month.

    @JZ -- right on the money
