Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 > Yes, I do cry at old movies.....guilty as charged. Well, I don't! Not the scenes you'd expect anyway. I have not yet learned how to tell people " NO " Now I say " NO, " all the time, but I did have a problem with it once. But I just cannot do any more than I do so I have learned this one. and I'm still carrying scars from my first marriage too. I do not think that I ever had a self esteem problem and I do not think that is why I married Lou at all. I was much more like Leggs; I came from a happy family and I was a bit naive, didn't pick up on warning signs etc. I did some counselling once, and the counsellor was going to show me that I had a pattern of abusive males in my life and, well, what the pattern showed was that Lou was the only one. It was just a bad choice; it can happen. Nor do I think that Lou particularly damaged my self-esteem. I didn't believe stuff he said about me; I knew he was wrong and that he had the problem. I did think that I could stick it out and make things work by myself. But Lou was not as abusive as some of the men you have mentioned. He was emotionally abusive, lots of cold shoulders, and nasty snipes at me. He was physically abusive with generally fairly mild stuff; the first time I had to go to the ER, he was out of there for good, all my Catholic belief in marriage aside. I was willing to talk to him and to try to save the marriage, but I was never letting him back in the house until I knew it was okay. And he did have a job most of our marriage, a reasonably well-paid and well-respected job.

The one who watches old movies 100 times and cries every time??? " Yup, I answered that question truthfully and still got 12. I guess some questions were more weighted than others!
