    He hardly ever calls me beautiful.
    He says, it's not in his character
    to say those things.

    But then I find out...

    It's only me he never
    says those things to
    as he has no difficulty
    telling someone
    else
    they're beautiful*.

    And it hurts.

    It breaks my heart
    into millions and millions
    of little pieces.

    Only his words of my beauty
    can mend a broken heart
    like that.

  • Petra, I'm so sorry.  Have things not been very good lately?  I saw the previous post about your friend getting married...I'm sorry I haven't been around much, well, practically not at all.  I'm glad I stopped by today.  You are a very beautiful woman inside and out.  I've had the pleasure of meeting you and although your pictures are beautiful they're not as pretty as you are in person.  Sometimes men are so insensitive.  I wish I could kick Jari's butt.  Please don't be sad...you are a wonderful friend that I treasure and I want you to be happy.  Love you, please let me know if there's anything I can do.

  • I'm sorry you feel so hurt. You are beautiful - his words shouldn't matter.

  • Thank you. We've been sorting this out (amongst some other things) recently and have come to a common understanding of things, I think. I just had to let that out -- it's therapy to me to share these things with friends whether they are ones I keep in touch with online or meet in real life. Because I really don't separate the two.

    I've been holding these things inside for too long, and they've been building up into this huge burden. But in a way it didn't feel appropriate to write about whatever is causing friction at the moment before I had talked with hubby, which we have done.

    I guess, when you've been together -- married or not -- for almost ten years, a crisis of sort is bound to happen at some point.

    He has access to these posts as well, so in a way I hope he'd come, read and comment some of these things...

  • From this man's point of view you are beautiful, but even more than just physically attractive.........your posts give me a glmipse into your heart, and I like what I see......sorry I haven't been around much, but glad I stopped by today!

  • *Even if it's only their over-exhibitionist, comment-whoring pictures on flickr... Still it's telling someone real they're beautiful -- instead of me (or my pictures even).

  • Like I was telling you through email I know Jari loves you and I'm sure he did not intentionally hurt you it's just we (both men and women) take each other for granted at times especially after we've been together for as long as you and I have been with our men.  We have to remind each other that we are only human after all.

    Thank goodness you and I found good men that only screw up occasionally.  LOL!  Give Jari and Cati hugs for me!

  • I hope you get through this ok, and thanks for the reality check so I make sure I don't make the same mistake at home.

  • I'm sorry. You are beautiful, even if he doesn't say it.

    I never get kind words either. No one tells me I'm beautiful. He doesn't say "thank you" when I make dinner, or "I love you" for any reason whatsoever. It kind of sucks.
