I've been with my husband for almost 11 years... married for 9 of those. So, he's seen me a my absolute worst. But, the good thing is that he's also seen me at my best. We've learned together that the bad times aren't going to last forever, and that the best of me will shine through again eventually. I've hurt not only him but others in my life as well when I was very down. I'm learning how to control myself better even when I am at my low points. It's hard. But, just knowing in the back of my head that the bad feelings won't last forever make it a little easier for me. He understands that a lot of what I say to him when I'm down is out of pure desperation to just feel better somehow. It doesn't make me feel good to know I've hurt him. But, I have to let myself understand that I've said things out of the pain and hurt I was feeling at the time and didn't necessarily mean things the way they came out. He understnads this, too. Still, I am trying to learn from my mistakes. I'm a work in progress. I think we all are in one way or another.
