Last night I found myself dehydrated.
I’ve never been the one who needed to be taken care of. Correction, I did need it, but it was a need unmet. Having no one I felt would take care of me wore on me. It was a major contributing factor to the end of my marriage.
And yet, last night, I found myself ill equipped to be in the opposite position. I found myself feeling uneasy.
I feel like I was probably ungrateful, it was more embarrassment that I felt so poorly, that I needed help.
It is hard for strong women to rely on people. Especially when you have suppressed that side of yourself for so long.
Give yourself time to adjust. I am sure if you explain it to him when you are well he will understand.
