Frustration


17 years ago 0 3046 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
hi maggie, sometimes it is apprecating the quiet together, knowing that at this very millisecond we are together and it is enough. I was confused by this when Chouette and I were living together. I got some good shouting in a few time. You do not share. You have nothing to express. ARE YOU DEAD IN THERE? and I finally had an article to read in a women's studies class and began to understand there is a difference in how girls and boys are taught to communicate!

You know Danielle, I don't know if I have it in me to even do that. You have to want to do that and I don't know if I really want to do that. He pays so much attention to his work, his coaching hockey, his everything, you begin to build up the resentment towards all that. We drove 30 minutes to our one our son's hockey games not saying a word to each other, he didn't think anything was wrong with that, I mean not a word. I begin to think, maybe marriage is suppose to be like that, but I'm not happy, I don't want it like that. I know it's communication, but discussing things, he easily gets his back up, his brick wall comes into view and basically ends the conversation in a huff! He always has to be right and always has to have the last word. I don't know how to deal with that, I back down. I'm tired of backing down. Thank you for your reply though, I do appreciate it very much. Have a good one. P.S. Hey, the sun is out plus I have my coffee and a biscotti...what a day!!!

I don't know, I'm feeling very frustrated today...the sun's not out, maybe it's just as simple as that, but I don't think it is. Maybe overwhelmed is the word. I've started this volunteer work, I've never felt more appreciated than I do when I go there and what a feeling that is. But when I get home, it's back to the same old thing. "Mom, I need this", "when's dinner", "what's for dinner", "I need $25.00 for school" and so on. And then my husband just comes sauntering in at dinner time and asks how my day was. So, I'm in a bad mood and he takes it personally, why can't I be in a bad mood. I'm tired of putting on my happy face when I don't feel like it. (I'm really not this mean, just felt underappreciated). I'm fighting a cold in which my husband gave to me. We were at the arena last night with our boys and friends were coming up to me asking if I was feeling ok, "looks like you have a cold", "do you want a tea", amazingly nice friends!!! My husband says nothing. I wanted to sell him, actually give him away. He grabs is blackberry, sits on the bench and away with work issues he goes. UGH!!!! I'd like to throw that blackberry away. I guess I'm just venting (again), I just don't feel I have the "get up and go" feeling anymore with him. Is this just a period of time or is it "a little too late" period of time. Let's hope the sun comes out, either that or a good cup of coffee and a biscotti. Thanks for listening...thank goodness for this site!!!
