So this week has sucked. Although I finally finished the third book in Fifty Shades of Grey. I really did enjoy the books even though I’m not usually a fiction reader. But the week has sucked because I’m still at odds with the boy.
I’ve eased up on my anger a bit and we do have conversations but nothing around the meat of the problem. The next time I have something going on that is important to me I know we’ll be in the same place. The worst part is he has no idea what the problem is. He thinks I’m freaking out because I’m ALWAYS with the kids on my own. When the truth is I’m pissed because he thinks the world revolves around him and his career. I want to say “if you put in half the effort into our marriage as you do into your job, perhaps we might actually enjoy this.” But I don’t know a nice way to say it. I can’t say it like that because that will only lead to hostile communication when what I really want is open and honest communication (read: not hurting words, that doesn’t fix a damn thing). Ughh….. FRUSTRATING. (glass 3 of wine is helping)

Please tell him what you want to tell him. I’m going through hell right now because I was an idiot, but if it had been pointed out to me, things would be so very different. I was blind and I couldn’t see that.
I did just that. I told him everything. I practically spilled out my these posts verbatim. Thank you for the comment, much appreciated 🙂 Good luck to you!
Oh my God, I feel for you. Your marriage sounds like mine. Which is why I am involved in an affair after being with only one man my entire life and after 31 years of marriage, stepped outside of it and found someone incredible to fill the void.
