    The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!

    WHOO!!! Nothing like waking a sleeping bear who has a lot on his mind, and who has to go back to work tonight AND tomorrow nights bc of the fuk up (pardon my French) that happened while he was away. He'll call in a bit and tell me he's sorry for being cross, but I'm not thinking I'll be so forgiving! I truly understand about his pressure; I've been there, and of course I was not the main breadwinner in the family. But I'm standing up to him now, telling him NOT to be such a titty baby, and TRY to understand what I do to keep home tomgether.
    Actually, HE'S the one who allows the money to hemorragh to the undeserving. I've wanted to cut some things off for years, so, what do you think? Am I being to hard? I'm not his maid, or his mother.
    I've exhausted myself trying to get him to look at my suggestions, and he's fought most. The one's we've done have worked out for the best. I have to admit, to you, my friends, he has issues with admitting he was wrong, or respecting what and who was right. Though I'm home, not bringing a weekly paycheck (which he was taught was sancritsat), I won't go back into what I've brought to us. Yes! I'm mad!!! I've tried to work thru this amicably, but once I put my foot down, he balks, but starts to think.
    I don't want anyone to think badly of him. His family was just plain damn weird. He told me once when we were dating and I was at a family function, he drove past several times, jealous of what we had. His parents are self-absorbed, favor my son over my daughter, and I'm not doing this stuff anymore.
    I KNOW how hard he works. I understand what pressure he's under. But I WILL not be his pressure relief system, and he's lost. He had a dinner of homemade chicken wings, ice cream, and took a lunch with him when he left that I made. But he's tried to use me as the emotional punching bag, and THAT ain't gonna work. I have to learn to help him direct his frustrations and expectations elsewere, and I'm working on that.
    Again, I'm sorry to use this as my 'diary'. It's just that I love and trust you all. Since I've been to MWO, he's had some BIG adjust to make to my attitude. (Before you ask, NO, he would never be physically abusive to me). He just doesn't KNOW how to deal with real life. Oh, what his parents taught him is a REAL book1
    This will all be over in a little, and I'll regret posting this, but, again, right now I'm MAD! His parents (he's an only child) are just weird. Hate everyone, dote on him, etc. God help him if I get to pick fil's nursing home! But at THIS moment, it is wonderful to pour it all out to my friends. That's what we are, friends. I wish our lurkers would understand this and join us, because your problems are accepted.
    WHOOOOOOOOOoooooo! I feel so much better. Sorry again for burdening you with my trivial troubles. I know so many are much more serious. But I got that out. And that is just the tip of the iceburg in try to help him, a good man, learn to love people and life. Hope this was ok, not upsetting to anyone.
    All of you,you ROCK! Maybe this can be an inspiration that no one is immune from daily problems. I LOVE my husband, and he love me. We are just still working on past patterns, establishing more healthy ones. AL is not part of my life now, but is still for him (not to excess, normal) So there have been many bumps.
    I'm sorry for the long post. Hard to really explain it all quickly. Thank you, people. You have taken me past blackout to positive. And we'll deal with this too.

          Rubes....your hunny sounds just like mine. I fell in love with him because he was a man's man......strong, responsible...I felt safe and protected. But, Mother of God.....the temprament I have to put up with sometimes.......he can be SUCH a pill and take it out on me. I always tell him he should be kinder to me than anyone, but after 19 years, he still hasn't heard me. That's why we have two tv's!!!!
          Hope your evening gets better baby.....love you Mimzy
          I love my family more than alcohol.:h

            We're good, T. After this long, he can't deal alone, and doesn't want to. He was in a foul mood, and his moods can be REALLY foul, but once he gets awake (remember, he went from days to night suddenly, and wasn't supposed to work at all this weekend) he'll become himself, and start to sweat his behavior. Problem is, his expectations for someone to cater to him, which my MIL still thinks I'm sadly lacking. Not gonna do that for anyone over 17. You know I'll give someone anything, but not my spirit.
            As I said, he's thinking it all over now. He knew who I was when we married, 40 years ago, and I'm even stonger now.He's changed his values so much. We laugh together over his parents behavior, but he takes it as seriously as I do. Problem is, they are still his parents, and I respect that. But I won't bend to their issues, and they DO have them. FIL drives me NUTZ!
            Thank you, bro. You, more than anyone, know the issues like this I deal with. I just need to live MY life, and everything else will take care of itself. :hug

              Straighten him out NOW, with a direct talk, MB. You are pulling a load now, too, plus your home. I know he's frustrated, but things have changed.
              I'm looking for equality in our relationship. When I say I don't work, I still have $2500 a month coming in. So I really spoke out of turn.
              We love our men. And they love us. But things have to be equal in terms of understanding and respect. I know how hard things have been for you, so you deserve MORE understanding.
              You are wonderful, beautiful, caring, compassionate. How many men can say they've been told that, or even if they understand what it means? With mine, he learned at his parent's knees to be totally self-centered. He worked, someone took care of all his needs. No thank you. I don't need kudoes, but I demand respect and respect for me and what I do.
              I hate to complain when I know so many have it so much worse. But everything is reduced to our little world. And I hope you will consider me in the bigger picture, and contact me if you need me.

                I am glad I am not the only one with problems. I moan and groan to myself everyday while out walking and on and off all day while trying to put some "its oks " and "everything will be fine" type things in there. I don't really have any friends I confide in left since I don't drink much these days. Do very little socializing at all. Did hang out at birthday party I took kids to yesterday. They had a great time,as there was kid stuff going on and they really have been missing that with their middle school selves. Said it was the best time they had had in a very long time. Kids growing up too fast these days...have got alot of cayenne peppers out of the garden Thought they were red bell peppers when I planted them. Oh well I guess I will try to make some hot sauce or something....later on bird

                      Thanks Ruby. Dad was in Canada for yearly fishing trip and his plane home to Florida left from here, so brother and I were entertaining him for a few. Guess it was an early Father's Day gift you could say ;-) He's low maintenance and better remain that way--lol.

                            Hey, MB. Hope you're having a good Father's Day. Hubs is sleeping after another tough night, but hey, we both have incomes, tough as the work is.
                            I know how hard you, Vick, T, oh! everyone works to get by. That's another reason I am so passionate about what's going on with our president.

                              Morning Mimzy.......I am not as articulate as you, but i feel the same way....I live in Florida and it infuriates us that most signs are in English and Spanish......they steal our benefits and food stamps and health care....they are actually considered one step beneath the blacks...i know that sounds racist as hell,, but it's the sorry truth

                                Hey MB,
                                Nope, so far, no word from my kiddies. I didn't see them for my birthday, so I don't expect them today. Mother is not being very kind lately. Not going to let it drag me down too much. Sucks, but out of my hands right now. At some point, I will be able to explain myself to them. I do write them letters--no idea if they get them, but I do write and mail them. My daughter will be 5 on 6/29 and I bet I don't get to see her then either. we'll see. In the meantime, remaining sober is the best I can do for myself and them. No lie, it will be a long day!! How have you been?
