I probably shouldn't be writing right now but... I'm too emotional to not rant, and unable to vent anywhere else at the moment.
I messed up tonight. Like I mess up all the time. I don't know why I cant ever seem to talk right... why I always say the wrong things, I turn conversation to myself and my own needs, I hurt instead of help...
I begged him to tell me what was on his mind... I wanted so bad to know. And I felt I could help, ease his mind, for so much of what he was saying. But hearing that I was doing things I did that he was struggling with, things I did that forced him to have to question what he was doing... I took to the defensive... I started breaking down instead of building up... when there was no accusation, no attack, no intent of hurt...
I'm so insecure and I have so many issues with myself and I second guess so much that I twisted what I heard. And now instead of supporting something that was so hard to be brought up in the first place... I started to destroy. All because of insecurity.
I hate this...
I shouldn't be jealous... I should be loving, supportive, encouraging. I shouldn't ignore needs, I should fulfill them. I shouldn't take offence... I should understand and assist.
Tonight, I was a terrible person. A terrible lover. A terrible wife. A terrible Dominant. And I do this all the time.
I had questions and concerns I wanted to address, brought up by the things in my love's mind, but him opening up was /not/ the right time to vent myself... I should have stored it away, taken care of and reassured him, and then tried to take care of myself, probably in the morning or a later date so as to not step on toes.
But no. I stole his time. Made him vulnerable and then stomped on him... intent or not, I was so, so very wrong.
Why is it /so/ hard for me to simply let him talk? Why do I struggle so much with knowing when it's the right time to help, and when it's the right time to shut the fuck up and listen, be supportive? Why do I/always/ fuck this up?
Why do I always hurt the one I love most?
Why do I keep stomping on him?
Why cant I just get things right?
I feel like such a terrible person right now... and having to try to sleep on these thoughts is nearly impossible. All day today I've been fucking up. It's been one big day of self-doubt and self-pity. I want to blame hormones, blame the fact that it's a bad time of the month for me and say that's the reason for my emotional state. And it might be an aid to my instability. But... I cant place all the blame on being a woman. That's not how this works.
I'm so sorry, my love, for hurting you how I did... I hurt you on levels I've never touched before and your reactions made me feel so bad my desire to fix got worse... but when I try to fix, I seem to just... destroy.
I should have dropped it sooner, or apologized and tried to backtrack a little to save the night before I got too far. Why do I have such trouble with seeing myself losing control?
I bottle so much up... that I cant release it in small doses... you pop the cork and I just... explode.
Its not healthy... and I'm sorry that I keep subjecting you to this.
Maybe I... need help... but help is so expensive and so few people understand our kind of love, I'm so afraid of people judging you or trying to say /you/ are what's wrong.
And after my past with "help"... I dont trust people who are "qualified". So I dont know how helpful that would really be...
I cant keep doing this to you... I need to figure something out... because what I'm doing isnt healthy, for either of us.
I dont know why I'm so bad at this... 5 years and I feel like im still so far away from decent communication...
