I think one thing we struggle with in this journey is cognitive dissonance. I know I did. You can google it or about.com has a good basic definition with an example.
What do you think?
I think that we all struggle with this. Its trying to make something work, when in reality it goes against our beliefs or principals.
Sometimes, we have no choice, as in the case of our children.
And sometimes, it FEELS like we have no choice, as in the case of our husbands.
THe lies we’re prepetually faced with create a dissonance. The stress and exhaustion add to it. Who can constantly balance and compare these alternate realities?
wow, yeah, that’s what i’ve been feeling. pretty much knowing that this is not ever going to work out, but feeling like i have to try for the sake of the baby. and i guess so that i can say that i did, when the reality is i know i’ll never get over it enough to be in love with this man again. he has destroyed everything we ever had and could have had, yet here i stay. i feel like such a dumbass. i really just feel like i’m biding my time, you know?
