Why....

Why is it that the one who loves you most does something stupid to hurt you? Whether it be a thoughtless act/word or intentional?

I know the saying goes, "you always hurt the one you love".

It's really not fair. It's really not right.

I know, I've done it myself. Maybe it's because of selfishness. Maybe not. Maybe when we become defensive, that's when we hurt them the most.

I don't like to hurt and I certainly don't like to hurt anyone. My intent is not to hurt. I can't say never because, it will happen.

I was hurting last night. Because of something I saw that I shouldn't have seen. The person didn't seem to think it was any kind of big deal. No matter the disrespect that was shown to me. To me, as a woman and as a wife, I was disrespected. It hurt. No, I wasn't angry. I was disappointed. I felt the hurt and I felt disrespected. That is different than angry. Or mad.

I know sometimes in life these things will happen. But it hurts nonetheless.

There are times I wish a person would think before they do or say something that might hurt another. This goes for me too.

Yes, I did receive a heartfelt apology today. An apology that was most accepted. Because this loved one realized that how I was hurt was not worth it to cause me the hurt I felt.

And, my heart unhurt.

Til Later All!
