Hoping this strikes a chord with someone here... I’ve been reading The Verbally Abusive Relationship and this passage (first blue highlight) jumped out at me. I bought the book used at Powell’s in Portland, OR and am saddened to see some of the margin notes and highlights already in place from its previous owner... and I don’t feel like such an oddball for not feeling attraction for a while now:

I usually really enjoy finding someone’s prior highlighting but that looks not near as much “fun” in a book like this. Sad. On the upside, I hope the person highlighting uses the knowledge to better her life.

Wow thank you for sharing this, mypaintbrushes…. It resonates.
Lately I’m having insights into why I feel so much quiet anger from my h. Or maybe not why but that what he claims is not anger towards me, is. I’m starting to trust my instincts more and it’s helpjng get clarity. (I used to second guess my feelings a lot and if I didn’t trust them 100% would shut them down until I just got numb.). Anyway, I appreciate this!!
