...because I resent you. Because my over-doing reflects your under-doing and makes me feel bad. I can't keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. I can't keep giving and giving in order to earn your love and affection. It doesn't work. It is not equitable. You want the old-timey thing where you are served because you are a man, but you aren't even upholding the man's pittance of a role either... the 20%... the provision. I'm pretty sure I've brought more money in every month that we've been together- even though you got a raise last month, I've still sold 3 cars to bring in more. That doesn't matter though.... but I provide for myself and still do most of the household chores and still give all to support and work around your schedule and life. It's not sustainable. "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself". I am becoming...or even AM already...bitter. This is what ate me up when I was with my first husband...and that's probably because it was the same thing... I give and give and do everything to try to create the life that we talk about wanting but he just lived for himself. I'm tired.
I'm literally tired too. I went to bed at 7 and didn't fall asleep until 9 or 10 and (I read and tried to masturbate) and then I woke up every hour... maybe one close to two hour stint)... but then I have created an expectation that I should get up and help you get your lunch together and wave you off to work.
We are living in an 80/20 model except it's more like 90/10 and I'm bitter like the 50/50 model. You told me to read the 80/80 model so can we do it? (I'm just starting part 2 so I have to learn more.) But what does that look like?
We both have challenges doing what we need to do to get ahead. Like swimming upstream. Why don't we work on our programs and goals? I have put zero pressure on him to do ANYTHING since he got his internship with Jonathan and he hasn't worked on it... only one time. He's sabotaging himself. He's got opportunities with time management and prioritization and doing what he says he is going to do.
I am judgemental....and have the same problem I think. I haven't finished my program. I HAVE to do that... TODAY. CARISSA! Time is ticking! I have one more month. Okay. Yeah.
But this is enough. Time to start living on your terms. We are not in a PARTNERSHIP. There is no mutual love and service and respect. There is an unbalanced expectation and I've got to stop feeding into it. That's it.

I try to "keep everyone safe" (keep myself from feeling pain) by doing these rituals... if I just say "I love you" before someone leaves, or get off the phone, I won't feel guilty if they die. If I wave and blow kisses, it will help them to know I love them and I will have done all I could. If I "shield"... pray for his car and being and pray for the dogs rainbow shields, that will keep them safe... so that I don't have to feel pain or guilt or shame... I will have upheld my part of the spell to try to keep them alive. A spell... a practice... a shake here and a word here and bada boom, this is a magic formula to keep from feeling pain to override the evil that is always coming upon everyone. Fear of loss is so big. Fear of someone dying, especially if I haven't done everything to make sure they feel loved. Fear that if I am not kind and perfect that I will cause them to have something happen to them.
When will I let go and let everyone have their own life and trust that their own soul is running their own show and if they want to die... if they want to get in a car accident, if they want to have a seizure, whatever it is, I can't stop it. It's not my job. I can't control it. I can't do anything. I have to just live and watch and be a compassionate witness. I can't do anything. I have to stop trying to do everything. I've held everything together IN MY MIND for so long but I can't do it anymore... it's not real. It's a trick to keep me trapped in fear and control. LET GO. Quit.
Listen to the Healing Begins. I do everything so "they think that I'm good". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe1yKciSlT4
"Help is the sunny side of control" - Ammi
I have to stop. "Help" by getting Red Bull which just brings addiction and death upon him. I can't control him. I can't choose to feed it. I can't try to do good... I need to just do good for me. Take care of me. Come back to me. MY HGU. MY LOVE.
Note I sent to Paul:
I love you. I want the best for you. You are my favorite person on this earth. I want you to thrive. I want you to be happy and fulfilled. I want everything good for you. I just have to give up the lie that I can in some way provide that for you. I have been operating under some faulty assumptions....I thought that what I do, my contributions, would help you be happy and safe and well ....and frankly that is conceited and magical thinking! I need to let go of trying to do or be anything. I thought that "IF I do this >THEN this"...like an equation. (ie. If I show him love, then he will love me back. If I wave and pray over him in the morning then he will get to work safe.) But life isn't like that. You are having your experience and I am having mine and I need to let go of my grasp on yours. If the two life experiences can meet and have a shared experience, then great. But I have shapeshifted...melded myself in to try to influence and support yours. Crawled in to your world to try to judge and control yours to make it into what I perceive is best for you. (In my mind, this is based mostly on what you tell me you want...you want to be an author, I will create space for you to work on that....but I pushed to get you divorced and to reconcile with your daughters and neither of those were your desires, they were mine because I thought it would be best for you... because I thought it would be best for everyone. But look at me, playing "God"!) It's all messy business.
And I know all this is being shaken up because we are working with the quantum field to "break the habit of being ourselves" and your influence to share in that with me is revolutionary because I believe we are soul mates and here to help each other. But this "helping each other" may not look the way my egoic consciousnessI thinks it should. I have been operating from my "M.O." which is to control so that I can keep everyone safe... (literally fear of death or accidents or injury...fear triggered by sirens...fear of them dying when we are in a discordant state...fear of my bad behavior causing them to die or get hurt...fear of them not knowing how much I love them).
This fear of losing my loved ones paradoxically pushes them away.
I need to do something different so I'm going to let all the walls fall down and I'm going to stop TRYING. I'm going to stop doing things to try to earn your affection. I'm going to love myself and the outflow of that is always that I can love others more. I want to RESPOND to your desire to share any pieces of your life with me when and if you want to connect if I have the bandwidth to do so. I have to change. I can't continue like this. It feels like I'm abandoning my post, but I'm not, I'm just going to try something else - I'm going to try not trying. Just being present and letting what is flow through. Controlling and manipulating how you think of me (by striving to serve you and be there for you and yada yada yada) isn't working. I just feel depleted and unappreciated and definitely not getting my needs met. Again, I care about you and desire a fulfilling life experience for you, but I have to give up the lie that I can in any way "provide" that for you. I hope you have a good day. You ARE loved.

10:04 (I saw 9:09 9:19 9:23) I just read that post again that I wrote to Paul and think it is really well stated. I hope I can remember it. His response was:
...which didin't leave me feeling heard. He just doesn't respond to what I say very much. I'm grateful for Corie trying to help translate for us both and she suggested that maybe he was like Caden who doesn't get involved with the emotions much, but I don't think it's that. I think it's a mix of mind-slide and misogyny.
Paul said he's not a misogynist, that he doesn't hate women, but I believe both him and Michael DO resent women because they have been hurt in the past and also because of their mindset that women are property and designed to meet the man's needs.... women are here to serve men. They DO have that mindset...."that was how God designed it".... MIchael Pearl said so.
No. That's not the Way.

11:45. Saw 9:11 today and yesterday and the day before too.
Today's quote of the day: "I AM the Master of my Fate. I AM the captain of my Soul."
1:11 (Paul saw) 1:23
I saw my own yellow butterfly on my walk this morning. Paul had 2 come to visit him yesterday... he only saw one. I guess the first one was for me to show me the call to transformation on him.
Rolled: "Reunitiing with Holy Father" meditation.
Last night I can't remember which ones I got, one was "Wounds of Christ" which I think I was reading about in the "Infinite Human" book before I went to sleep.
"God Is With Us" even in the "Woods" :) (songs that just came up).
That meditation was fabulous. I came out of it remembering that I AM (embody) Holy Father. I provide my OWN compassion and structure and safety and I am here for ME! And I also embody my own Holy Mother comfort and gentle loving support. I AM enough. I AM here.
I had a short but sweet sit in the mirror naked ....that morphed into a beautiful naked dance in the mirror which morphed into beautiful hugging and loving and support. I LOVE ME!! I LOVE ME!! I don't need Paul to do it! It's ME. Remember to love myself!!! Thank you God! 25/2:54 3:03
Just planning NOT to go out to greet Paul is breaking my heart. Same as NOT making his breakfast but I think I have to do it in order to break these habits. It's confusing because it comes from genuine love and joy to greet him, but it's perpetuating this imbalanced relationship. 3:11
Oh, I just remembered that he's working 10 hour days this week so he's not even going to come home now.
