Well, if it's any consolation, I didn't get out of bed officially til 1 pm either! Saturdays are for sleeping in (of course, the only thing I have to sleep in from is PT and T.)

In the scope of world events, you are doing wonderfully!

I'm sorry your spouse didn't get it. It's good that he understands where you are coming from, whether he will validate it or not, at least he read the book and isn't ignorant now.

Self-actualization, independance, and self-reliance are key items for a well-balanced person. It's also key for good marriages. When we marry because we are already complete people wanting accentuation, it works. It's when we marry for the other person to complete us, or allow us to utilize more of what we need and want through them, that it's dicey, imo.

As you probably know, people who NEED to be married to feel complete (even though they are rarely happy that way) often feel threatened by their spouses who are finding themselves. Your realization of what you need as an individual may spur a divorce, imo. It won't be the cause of a divorce, mind you, that issue if there at all, probably was in the making before the marriage.



Just my POV folks

PS Sleeping in is NOT a waste of a good Saturday, imo.
