I don't want to do that, but changing is so much harder than I thought. I didn't realize that changing how I see myself would change the way I interact with the world.

That's a change I've noticed in me, too--that I'm experiencing anger and, instead of turning it inward, I'm expressing it outward. And it's very difficult for me because it's something I'm not used to doing. It seems like it's been an adjustment for my H too, since I actually argue back now. Of course my T and marriage counselor would both say it was a good development, that anger is a natural and normal emotion, yet I still struggle with it.
