Little too late or better late than never

by anonymous

Hi

Long story short as I can make it. Both my partner and I are 32. We have been together 16 years and have lived together 10 years and have 3 children together. My oh has never and I mean never been romantic or thoughtful and I suppose this few years I have been feeling quite hurt by his actions or should I say lack of but my oh decided to propose recently and I accepted but I'm feeling quite resentful as I could never fathom why he didn't years ago.

I do love him so much but I can't get over the fact that he waited 16 years. I want to be excited and happy but I just simply feel silly. What is wrong with me?

"You gave us counseling without making either one of us feel that you were taking sides.
You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship.
You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before.
You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along.
Thanks so much
for helping us."
