I can't see a lot of positive because I don't have those feelings for him anymore. And I haven't been open about it in therapy which is my responsibility. I have been trying for years to get the feelings back- to want to spend time with him alone (I don't) to want to be intimate (I really don't.) But I can't force these things, right? I have been to therapy, I have meditated, I have prayed. He continues to do the same thing over and over even though our therapist has given him tools. So what's left over here? I feel like a hamster caught in a hamster wheel...

I understand how you feel and I hurt so much for you. These are difficult choices....there is no way to win as such. You both love your kids very much....maybe you will become a marriage of partners who are friends. Obviously I don't know, I just believe in you and I believe that you will find a solution that works for your family.

So much love honey. :hug: ♥♥

Thank you Dee!
Hello everyone, please count me ALL in. Thank you dear Suze for keeping track of us! I'm honored to celebrate another milestone with my fellow travelers. Yay us!!

I ride my bike 10 to 15 miles a few times per week and once a month I ride my sober time. So this month, it will be 31 miles. It's a inexpensive and healthy way to celebrate my freedom!
Hugs, peace, strength and love to all...xxxx

Thanks Dee :)

Love to All. :hug:

It's his only way of communicating his feelings which is why I keep encouraging therapy.

Honestly, part of me just wants to take over all the household chores so that I don't have to deal with this stuff. But then I end up resenting him and that's what I am trying to avoid. UGH> it's just so frustrating!

Just tired of this. It's too many years of power struggles and I'm over it. Thanks for the support...

(((Sunny))) No words of wisdom, just empathy and a Big Hug. :grouphug:
My hubby can be passive aggressive and I hate the stomping around / silent treatment when he goes through a phase. While actively drinking I drank more (a lot more!) during these times. Now I just ignore him and go on about my day or night. It serves me well and protects my sobriety.

But it's hard, really hard. Here's another Hug......:grouphug:

I’m in for another sober sane day.

PaigeMasters 08-01-2018 06:25 AM

Today is 30 days for me AND my moving day. I am so excited for our new house... perfect timing as it represents new beginnings. Now I just have to tackle driving a huge UHaul! Ugh. Anyway, 24 more for me, please. Happy Wednesday all! Congrats to everyone celebrating milestones today.

I always got hassled for having such a good memory, and now I am so very grateful I still have it....I am blessed. We all blessed to have the talents that we have....unique talents that are ours. ♥♥

Your dad is very right about that! I still struggle so much with it though. I know I am very talented /good at certain things, but I keep apologising for being good, saying that it must've been easier for me or I even come up with lies like telling people that I grew up bilingually or that I lived abroad for a while (which I both didn't) to justify why I am fluent in three languages... :headbange

Looking forward to those funny stories :herewego
