My husband has been away playing golf since Thursday...

He is due back today and I am feeling nervous...before he left we had discussed the status of our relationship.  He wanted to know if I still loved him and based on my answer, was going to decide what to do.  I couldn't actually answer him... I talked around the topic but could not give him a definitive answer.  I am nervous because I know he will want to pick up the discussion.

I have decided that I am going to...for the first time in 14 years...be completely honest with him.  He is going to get it all... so he better brace himself.  I don't love him anymore...and I want this miserable relationship to be over.

I am concerned with what his reaction might be, he is capable of being aggressive.  He can be very cruel and callous at times...which is my biggest concern.

He will be here this afternoon...I am excited at the prospect of finally having some clarity on where my life is going but a little scared at the same time.

    O,
     
    The truth can be liberating as well as destructive. You should not be in a situation that you find unbearable. As a human, both you and your husband diserve to be happy, with eachother or as two seperate people. You will be in my thoughts.

    It went well...for me that is.  He is very hurt and very angry now...but I said what I needed to say.  I did it in a sensitive way and did not respond to any comments which he made that I knew would start an argument or power struggle.

    I feel such relief... its bizarre actually.  I honestly feel like I am flying and am desperately trying to stay grounded and rein myself in.  I am elated.  A friend sent me this message today...

    "Happiness is when what you think, say and do are in harmony" Mahatma Ghandi... I relate to this at the moment.

    It hurts to see him in such pain, especially knowing that I have caused it...that is the hardest part.  I am just trying to stay in the moment and not let my mind get the better of me.  I know what I want and am trying to stay focused on that.

    Thanks so so much for your comments and concern...really means a lot!

    I know my blogs are very different from yours. Blogging seems to be a great way to get things out in the open. Are things getting any better?

    We saw a therapist this week... and he has committed to more sessions.  I think regardless of whether we stay together or not, it is a good thing to have somebody mediating a discussion. 

    I still feel that I want to leave...

    Thanks for your concern...I spent some time reading some of your blogs yesterday and I really enjoyed them. :-)

    Thanks;) I was married for about 3 years. Dated for 4.  I don't think i'll get married again. I've stopped dating too. I say...TO HELL WITH it ALL! I went to.... two therpist sessions a week with my former  H. for about a year. We sorted things out, said what we needed to say. (all the hurtful shit) but I came to the decision 7 years of hurtful words were not just going to go away. To much damage was done. We both needed a clean slate. Not that you need some person on the internet to tell you... you're going down the right path...but you are. A weight will be lifted off your shoulders....If you need anything....a good kick in the ass:)....someone to vent to...I'm all ears:)!

    Thanks peanut... we are so on the same page!! That is exactly how I feel...I need to get all the shit off my chest...I want him to hear and understand me.  I need that...and I will then move on.  

    I will be calling on you for sure for a swift one in the rear end as I know I will need it to stay focused!

    Appreciate your post :-)

I had to buy another pack of cigarettes this morning, not really knowing why I did because just recently I was praying so hard to God to help me quit…and I did-for about 3 moths....

The people have spoken ... again.

Some stay at all costs. Some say that they are working it through. But when parents are arguing and fighting all of the time.When they live in two seperate worlds under the same roof,what do you think the fallout is for the children if they stay together...
Laurel and Hardy are getting a divorce…how the *peep* do people let their marriage get to that point in less than two years?...
