I am not a narcissist or an addict, but because of Christmases and birthdays and mothers days past where my husband neglected to get my ANYTHING, I have become especially focused on whether or not the gifts he gets me now are "me". He senses this pressure as well. I am afraid that I may make him feel how your husband made you feel, in a way. Thank you for your reflections.Caroline Daleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640245715735471332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345462981115809499.post-11517419164646931852009-01-07T18:43:00.000-08:002009-01-07T18:43:00.000-08:00Thanks to all of you!Thanks to all of you!woman.anonymous7https://www.blogger.com/profile/09360902845606513227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345462981115809499.post-63317095751280334462009-01-03T12:47:00.000-08:002009-01-03T12:47:00.000-08:00I love to read your posts.

Isn't it funny how life works like that? Now I've got the Rolling Stones in my head: You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need. ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing. It's the gift you give to all of us.Mary P Jones (MPJ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10251787926841410344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345462981115809499.post-68060450672748776202008-12-26T19:16:00.000-08:002008-12-26T19:16:00.000-08:00What a beautiful post.

It's not that my husband is like yours when it comes to Christmas and gifts, it's that your openness to learning is a stunning achievement.<BR/><BR/>I resented my husband for a long time b/c he wasn't what I had wanted to receive in husband material - I (we) learned of his sex addiction 2 months after our wedding. It took me years to get over the deceit and disenchantment, but now that we are where we are in our journey I'm grateful to have married the man my recovering addict husband has become.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas, WA7.
