He wrapped his arms around me and loved me in spite of myself. He lay with me and soothed me as the sobs came pouring from me. He whispered softly in my ear and held me safely until I drifted away to sleep. Dear WTI, As many others have said, including you, this is the mark of a wonderful partner. I have lost my mind with Daddy on a few occasions in our time together and he has loved me in spite of it all. Who knows why we come unglued at times? It happens, we feel terrible, and if we are blessed with loving, understanding people in our lives, they forgive us even when we feel that we do not deserve it. Try to stop beating up on yourself as best you can. One time I got really angry with something I had done and couldn't seem to forgive myself for, and after a bit, Daddy had heard enough. He had been so sweet and kind as I berated myself and told me that I needed to let it go. I didn't. I tore myself apart verbally - bashed myself for my stupidity, etc. - and it wasn't even something that was between us, just something really stupid that I did that made me feel like an idiot. He warned me to stop, that he hated seeing me turn on myself. When I just wouldn't let it go, he grabbed ahold of me and told me very sternly that "No one talks about His girl that way. No one - not even His girl." It was a wake up call for me because he knew that I was damaging my self esteem, my self worth, all of it. He then looked me in the eyes and said, "You are not any of those things you have said, and I'm tired of hearing it. If I think that you are a wonderful, intelligent woman, then all this other stuff doesn't sit well with me. I love you, now stop." After he held me and helped me put all that negative, bitter, self-hatred, I thought about what a lucky woman I was to have someone love me through such a rough time. Sounds like your beloved is made of the same cloth. Cherish it. Warmly, Daddysredhead
