Ok guys...where you at??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Just wondering how everyone is doing? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

2 Be:

Right HERE! Didn't you see me?

Anyway, I'm good (or at least OK).

You'll be happy to know that I went out and got 90% of my Christmas shopping done in one day (last Thursday).

I only have a few stragglers to pick up for (only cause I didn't know sizes and such and didn't want to have to go back out anyway......cause I know (and you know) I WOULD have gotten the wrong one's.

So tomorrow night I will head out for maybe an hour or so and it will be all done.

On the other hand, This time of the year is sooooo tough (emotionally speaking).

I have 2 nephews who have birthday parties here in Dec. (just went to the second one yesterday). I love them.....but I can't watch football when I have to go......and the season's almost over.
(Why can't they have them in Feb. or maybe June when baseball is on...[sorry not a Fan].

Seems like I managed to KILL the "other" thread.
Just like before.....as soon as I even "begin" to write or post something about myself......BAMM, the thread first sloooooows waaaay down....and then just dies.
(Guess that shows me to go back to my instincts and just keep my own stuff to myself).
I always knew I wasn't that interesting.......but my goodness.......you don't have to Prove it to me.....I got it all ready. (kidding guys).

Any way, my cycle of my own roller coaster is about the same.....if I go for 3-4 days of good......I get SOME trigger that puts me in BUM mood again. (some are stronger and some are weaker.....but they still come).

That's what makes this time so tough (for me).
I've never been all that into crowds and get togethers anyway.
But used too... for the family and kids and even just my sense of "holiday" obligation......I'd get my "mood" into the right frame of mind and "get with" the holiday season.

But since the A......I hate and "dread" ANY and ALL get togethers.
(some in my family know and some don't)

Its like I can keep it all together as long as its just us at home alone (my W, kids and myself).
Cause if I have a down day, we just weather it and then move on.

However, I can't do that around everyone else.

And then, don't let me NOT Seem in a good mood.
Then all the questions start.....and of course the whispers and looks.
It just drives me nuts.......and I'd RATHER NOT even deal with Any of it.
(Not to mention my own shame.... and of course feelings of being "weak" or a sucker for having taken my W back AFTER she's done all the things she has with another man).

This is just the main mentality in these parts .....so NO point in saying that its their problem.
Unfortunately, its mine......cause you CAN pick your friends (or even A partner) , but not your Family.

Honestly, my holiday would be SOOO much more Merry......if we just stayed at home and did our own thing.
Sadly (for me) that's NOT going to happen.

So once again I don't get another Christmas wish. (Darn it!)

Thanks for the mini vent.......at least you guys can help with something (even if just understanding).
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season (if not, it will get better for next year). One way or another....Promise! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Well there is someone….geesh, I was beginning to think you all ran away. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> But I have to keep reminding myself what time of year it is and everyone I am sure is very busy.

I also got most of my shopping done. I got about 95% done, haha, I’m ahead of you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> I have 1 more gift to buy for my son and I’m done. We went out Friday night and I wasn’t coming home till we got most of it done. We finally got home about 11:30. H was surely dragging his feet. I do have to say he did pretty well, didn’t start complaining till about 10:00, we started at 6:00. LOL That’s a record I think.

What are you getting your sweetie for Christmas?

You did NOT kill the other thread, I wish you didn't feel that way! Just remember what time of year it is. I personally just didn’t feel like going and digging the other one up. I like it when you share what’s going on in that head of yours. Makes me feel like I am not off my rocker. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> So please share! I’m sure things will pick back up after the first of the year. I know I have been really busy at work and home. Friday I never even got a chance to get on here.

I know what you mean about being emotionally draining this time of year. Lots of triggers for me also. I wasn’t tired last night when we went to bed, and never fails when that happens, my mind always drifts to the affair. I play conversations over and over again between her and I, and him and I. Drives me crazy, needless to say I got up and watched TV. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> I am trying to keep my mind on everything else but doesn’t always work. Grrrrrrrrrrr


It’s so hard for me to think how are relationship was this time of year last year, to think about what was going on between them last year at this time, just makes me sick. Not to mention I have a constant fear that she is going to try and contact him, he promises he’d tell me, but I just don’t know. Last time she contacted him and he told me, my mind was so not on what I was suppose to be doing I got into a car wreck, totaled his car. So I worry that for him to save me from the “stress” of her calling he won’t tell me. That constant worry is what I want to go away. The wondering if he’s telling me the truth.

Anyways….I’m glad you’re around. I do hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!!!!!!! Don’t be such a stranger! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Hugs,
LJB

Hey 2B,

I'm here too. I posted to our other thread last week. But I'm the last post on there. I was wondering where y'all were.

I haven't had time to read what you and Top Rope have written. My children for some reason are not getting along this afternoon. I've got to go see what is going on in the other room. Our neighbor's kids are over and they all usually get along, but not today.

I'll check back later.

ng <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Ohhh he makes me so made sometimes. I just wish he would be able to get inside my mind for just one day and realize what kind of hell I go through daily.

He went out shopping last night for my gift. He comes home some 3/4 hours later (no biggy) and has somethings from my moms house, so I know he's been over there. I made a crack about him getting lost and he just laughed. So then I asked him if he found anything. He said no, he decided not to get me anything this year since he didn't know what I wanted (I know he was joking), so I made a crack back of you just don't want me to go there (he didn't get me anything last year). He said you just did, I said actually no I did but I can.

Then he started to have attitude that I was the one who went against what we "agreed" upon last year. We got a big screen TV for each other and said that was each others gift. BUT, BUT, BUT....I just looked at him and it was instant tears. He made a comment about me being extra sensitive tonight and I said yes, he asked what's wrong and I said don't worry about it. He pushed so I told him. I was the one under the impression that I was getting something else because he used that as a front as the reason he was talking to her. They were working on a Christmas present for me, she worked in the section of his work that made things. So yes, I was under the impression I was suppose to be getting something else.

He looked at me like I was off my rocker, he said what did I say I was suppose to be getting you. OH MY FREAKING GOD. Then the tears really started coming and I just looked at him and said I can't believe how quickly you can forget something like this. Then he has the nerve to tell me that he can't believe that I am upset over something that happened a year ago. WTF....oh my freaking god. Yeah like I can just flipping earse what happened last year. And lets not forget that it's been only 7 months since I found he was screwing that tramp. I just looked at him, and said forget it. You'll never understand. He got pissed and stopped talking to me.

I mean really. What started out as joking ha ha, turned out to be like that. I mean my god, does he really expect me to just forget all this **** happened. Just because he has and that's his way of dealing with stuff, I can't do that. And I'd be stupid to do that.

It's not like I mention this all the god damn time. I made it a point to not throw this in his face all the freaking time (I have done that with other stuff). I swore I wouldn't do that this time and I haven't. Maybe that is why he thinks I shouldn't be upset about anything. Because I very rarely mention it, but he has not idea what goes through my head on a daily basis. The wondering, worrying, the playbacks, and everything else.

But I shouldn't be upset, WHATEVER. So that was my night how was your guys???

LJB

Sorry your having such a lousy time of it. <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

[[(({{{{{2Be}}}}}))]] Big hugs to ya! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Now as far as me, thanks for asking.
I went last night and I am done with shopping ....YIPPPIE!
(In fact, I did All the shopping for Everyone this year).
Thank goodness that's over.

Now as too your dilemma.
I am not going to go into TOO Much detail as I want to get a response back to you BEFORE they shut the site down.....However, IMO your instincts are correct in this areas....

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">From 2Be:

</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Then for goodness sakes...Tell him.
Cause this approach your using now sure ain't workin for ya.
(either of ya) Not for the long term anyway.

Unfortunately, You choose NOT to talk about the A (your prerogative of course)...
But as a result, your H DOES Think that it's pretty much a dead issue.

I'm not trying to bash you here.....but he can't read your Mind......if your giving him the impression (most of the time), that you are OK and that it IS a dead issue.....then don't be surprised when he acts this way and treats you in this Manner.

Its up to YOU to talk, reveal and discuss the ISSUES that are bothering YOU!
(And lets be honest.....just like with HW, this ISSUE is still bothering you!)

Mostly because you've NEVER Fully gotten it ALL out on the table.
And believe me that takes a lot more then a couple of discussions.

I think much like HW you are sacrificing short term gain (conflict avoidance) for Long Term Pain (either an unhealthy M or eventual D).

But enough from me on that.
I of course could go on and on.....but I prefer to be able to go back and reread my thoughts (just to make sure that they are at least somewhat conherant....for you the readers that is).

Cause they always make Sense in my head.......just sometimes something happens on the way from the keyboard to your computer screens. Guess I'll have to keep working on that.

In any case, hang in there and just know that "YES, your H DOES NOT Get IT!!!!"
That is a Fact!

This is where you've got to take the risk and do the work to make him.
If you don't.....you guys are going to continue to be miserable.
(unless a Miracle happens....but then again it IS the season for miracles....but don't hold your breath).

2 Be, You KNOW the cycle:
....tension builds....fight or explosion to relieve it.....make up time...calm period....tension builds.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> and on and on and on.

Please consider breaking the cycle for your own emotional health and in truth, Sanity.

Wishing you a Merry, Merry Christmas and wonderful Holiday season! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Yes I know I need to express my feelings to him. But in the past I was always so bad at throwing stuff in his face, I made him a promise I wouldn’t do that this time. Which he says he very much appreciates.

Hell I was very proud of myself that I didn’t even second guess what he was actually doing last night. Well maybe just once, but it didn’t bother me. That to me is great, in that aspect I’ve come a long ways (I think anyways).

Yes, most of the time I do act like everything is fine. Because why would he want to stick around when he has to deal with what goes through my mind daily. That is MY issue not his. He didn’t have to deal with that with her everything was always so happy happy joy joy. Yes, I know that isn’t reality but that is what he remembers ( am presuming of course) not having to deal with the stress of our life, money, kids, and whatever else. So I am trying to make it where he’ll want to come home, no fighting or whatever.

I just want this week and next to be nice and calm. Last year was soooo bad at this time I want to get rid of those memories and have something to look forward to. I want to remember a nice Christmas and replace the memories from last year.

Breaking the cycle will be hard but your right something that needs to be done. I need to get past the fear of confrontation with him. Try to keep telling myself he’s not the same person he was a year ago. I am so good at expressing my feeling to everyone else, especially if I’ve got something to say. But when it comes to him, I freeze up, stumble over my words, and everything else. Pretty sad huh.

Anyways, I am also done with my shopping. I am going to the mall today <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> (wish me luck) to pick up a few odds and ends but other than that I am done. Got my husband done yesterday so we are set. We are frying up a turkey for dinner on Saturday and all my family will be at my moms. My husband is actually off for the first time in I can’t remember how long. It will be nice to have him home and not have him rush off to work.

I do hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas. I hope 2005 is everything you hope it to be. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Thank you for all your help and support. You have no idea how much it means to me!

2be,
[Another quick sound bit...before we all go off the air waves]

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">From 2 Be:

Besides, who would want to stick around with a man who wouldn't WANT to HELP you with these issues?
Especially considering HE created most of them?

And IMO, in a M a problem for one Ultimetly becomes a problem for both ...sooner or later.

Why not deal with it, while its MORE managable??


</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">From 2 B:

However, Being "emotionally" honest does NOT have to be the same thing as Throwing things up in his face. Not at all!

You need to find a way to make that distinction and then find the way to implement it in your lives.

Just because you "express" a feeling....(and unfortunately that feeling was caused by the person your talking too's actions) ....doesn't mean your trying to punish them.

In fact, it can be an attempt at reconnection ... by giving them the opportunity to comfort, futher demonstrate remorse, apologize and make amends.

However, if they think that everything is "honkey doorey"....then most likely they will focus their energies on other things. Sadly, that's just how it usually works.

By continuing to NOT express your thoughts and feelings your NOT only making your self more bitter and upset.....your really confusing your H (as he never really KNOWS where your head and heart are).

This is denying him the opportunity to "do the right thing" by you.

Look at it this way.....if you DO communicate as best you can.....and then he STILL blows it and doesn't DO what YOU Need.....then you've done all you can &.........

But if you don't let him in, then HE WILL be able to blame YOU for the end of the relationship.....as you will have been less then honest in your intentions.

Don't set yourself up to have to live with that type of guilt.

YOU Can't make him do right by you.....but on the other hand you can Set Him Up to Fail. (intentionally or unintentionally
Don't do that.

If you truly do want this M....then give him the every opportunity to make it right.

Now if your STILL in doubts about "wanting" the M itself (long term).....well, I understand that question too....but then that's a whole nother topic.

Now I'm curious:
Have you had ALL your questions answered to your satisfaction?
As long as your NOT LBing are you "allowed" to talk about the A when the pressure of holding it all in becomes too much?

If the answers are NO...is the reason (mostly) because bottom line it makes your H either "feel" bad or makes him look bad to you??

If that is so, WHY should he not have to "feel" bad as a consequence to his actions.....but you have to serve a life sentence for HIM??

If you guys would just Talk this out (yes, over a period of time) ...you'll find that it eventually goes away on its own and there is NO NEED (by either of you) to talk about it.
Indeed, the best day as a BS (or at least it was for me) ....was when I didn't "want" to talk about it anymore.

And NOT the OLD reason of Not wanting too.. (that being because it HURT too much).
No, a better reason....because it no longer controlled me (you know the whole "obsessing" thing).

Getting real and comunicating is a way out of this trap your in right now.

till next time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Hey guys!

Top Rope,

Please continue to share. You did not shut down the other thread. I was the last post on that thread and I checked it up until I realized that 2B had started this thread.

I know what you mean about staying home. We do family Christmas the week before Christmas or after so we can stay at our house on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I hated having to go somewhere every Christmas when I was growing up so my rule has always been to stay home. My DH loves this as he likes staying at home too.

I hope you have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

2B,

I'm sorry you've had a hard time for the last couple of days. I agree with you when you say that he would feel bad if he had to deal with what goes on in your head on a daily basis. It's going on in my head too. They were carrying on this time last year too. And as much as I try to forget that, it still pops in my head constantly. I am reading Forgive for Good and spending more time reading on the Recovery board than here. This board tends to depress me, and I don't need any help there.

The Forgive for Good book talks about renting too much space in our brains to our grievances. I am really trying to not do that. OW and the A do not deserve my time and energy. Of course, that is easy to say and a little harder to implement.

I figured out something about my DH that I think I've always known. The noise of children gets on his nerves. Don't get me wrong, he loves our children. But I have noticed that he only relaxes and really talks to me when the kids have gone to bed. I think he thinks I let them get away with too much. And I do. I'm working on that. I bought the Smart Discipline book. I'm trying. But I still find myself letting them get by with things because I'm tired or have something I need to do. He knows they are just kids and are going to fight but I hate feeling like I need to "keep them quiet so Daddy can think, work, etc." He was raised with parents who did nothing but yell. And he hates for voices to be raised. I also think he is trying to give them the childhood he didn't have. It is really important for them to have certain material things. But he struggles doing the very thing they need - time with him. He does spend time with them playing Playstation games, catch, board games, etc. But I just don't see a lot of joy there and it makes me sad for him and the boys. He didn't have a good male role model. I'm not sure he knows what a father should be. I know he is a good father and loves and cherishes our boys.

And maybe part of this is my fault. I do a lot for the boys since I am the one who is here most of the time. They tend to want me to do these things. So I am trying to step back and let him do more things for them. I think his feelings get hurt when they request me to do something or for me to go somewhere when it was going to be "just the boys".

Also, he just doesn't seem to really enjoy family time at home. He likes to go do stuff, but says he is just easily "bored" at home. That is one of his reasons for the A. That he was just "bored". Oooh, I just get so angry. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" />

This is really the issue I'm working on. I think this is more of an issue than the A. This is probably the root of the problem that led to the A. He has always been critical of my behavior with them, and I guess I thought that I was being a good mom. I have always put more of myself into them than our marriage. I am guilty of that. I am trying to fix that.

Our boys have been staying with his sister and her children for the past couple of days. So we've had some time to ourselves. We went out to eat, to a movie and last night we wrapped presents and had some great quiet time. He was so relaxed. But the fact remains that we have 2 children. We are going to have to find a good mix that works for us.

Anyway, thanks for listening. When I write all this out it sounds like we never have fun, but we do. Maybe it's just me. My H is not very verbal. He is quiet and I talk a lot. Can't you tell?

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

ng <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Hey NG,

Sounds like you've got Christmas "in the bag" so too speak. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" /> Good for you!

(Now if we could just Find your H that Job!) Guess we'll get back to that after the holiday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Wish we could have done something like you've done (concerning the visiting and such).

As it stands now, our Christmas is a total wash.
My mother is 3 hrs away....then after dinner there, we get to trek to my W's parents and do the visit there. Man, I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

(And that gets me just a little pissed....I mean, I'm supposed to be excited and look forward to Christmas....NOT get depressed)
OHHH WELL, guess I'll do BETTER Planning next year.

NOW I did get the Christmas shopping done......but I still have about 1/2 of the presents to wrap.
MY W loves wrapping.....I HATE IT!
But I WILL do it as I DO LOVE those the presents are For.

Next, Really Great that you and hubby are getting some "alone time".
Never underestimate the importance of that for your reconnecting.
Its $$PRICELESS$$!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Also very encouraged to read that your noticing (and addressing) some of the problems that actually LEAD to the A, in the first place.
Indeed, these ARE the types of issues that you NEED to face and deal with.....if you are going to actually have a chance of making a recovery.
This is the best news that I took out of your post. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
Keep it up!

Figuring out that you can ultimately ONLY change YOUR Behavior and your actions is another valuable revelation you've stumbled upon.
My oh my, you've certainly had a year of self discovery. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
That is too coooooooool!

I just love good news!
I'm going to carry these good feelings for the rest of my day. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Thanks.

I'd wish you a Happy Holiday....But thankfully sounds like you've ALREADY got it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> YEEESS!!
Way to Go!

Anyway, Merry Christmas....and keep the positives coming.

Thanks TP you made me see even more good in all the stuff I was writing. Thanks for reading and listening.

Yes, I do like relaxing on Christmas. If we move far away, I think we will continue that tradition. We will just visit family before or after Christmas. My parents usually come to our house on Christmas Day, but this year they are not up for the trip (only 45 minutes, but my father is in poor health and my mother is afraid for him to drive). We offered to come get them, but they are too proud. Oh well, I am taking the boys to their house Monday (also our youngest's 5th birthday). They will enjoy that. We already did some Christmas with them on Thanksgiving. It will be hard on them when we move, as I am their only child. And they are aging. But I will learn to deal with that when we move.

I'm leaving in a little bit to meet my sister-in-law to pick up our boys. Boy, I will miss that when we move. Although, I do have some issues with her (she left her H of 16 years for OM several years ago). But that is a story for another day. I regret that I didn't help her H - he was devastated and tried so hard to get her back. I listened to him, told him about a good counseling center that I'd heard about that only charged based on your income, but didn't truly realize the pain he went throught until now. I wish I had known enough to help more. I wish he had found this board.

Anyway, I hope you get some relaxing time between your road trips. Have a safe trip. Merry Christmas!

Hey guys....

Ha! Ha! I am all done with my wrapping. I stayed up till almost 1:00 this morning wrapping. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I love to wrap and make the packages all nice and pretty. Sucks they get shredded within minutes but it sure does make the tree look nice!

I am really looking forward to next week, the kids are going up to the cabin with my parent so my H and I will get most of the week to ourselves, not to mention New Year's. I am so excited. Too bad we both have to work, but we can enjoy the evenings and the weekend!

Has anyone heard from HW?

NG, sounds like things are going well and you guys are working through the issues, that's very very encouraging. I've still got my fingers crossed that he'll find a job soon!

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get online today, so if I don't get a chance to get back I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!!!! Looking forward to a better 2005!

Hugs to you all!

Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed about the job. I hope you have a good Christmas. You too HW, if you are reading. And you too TP.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.
Enjoy your evening. (hope your not Jewish...yikes)

Heroes Wife:
Please come back soon!

Hey y'all. How was everyone's Christmas. We had a very nice and relaxing day. The boys and I are going to my Mama and Daddy's house today. Today is our youngest's 5th birthday. My H had to work today.

I'll check back in with y'all later.

ng <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Hello....

Glad to hear your Christmas was good NG. Ours was good also. SOOOOOOO much better than last year. We spent the day relaxing and playing games at my moms. It was nice having my husband home all weekend and not having to share him with work on. We haven't had him home for a full day on Christmas since we've had kids.

any plans for New year's. We are trying to figure out what we want to do. We usually have friends over and have a big party. but we want to do something different this year. We are both getting tired of the sitting around the table and drinking. So not sure what we are going to do. My H even mentioned last night that maybe we might even just spend it by ourselves. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Boy that would be nice. Because the kids are going with my parents to the cabin. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

anyways...hope every one had a Merry Christmas.

Hugs,
LJB

But I am looking forward to 5 days of relaxing without any kids. They are going with their grandparents up to the cabin so it's just hubby and I. It will be so nice! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Heeeeelllllllooooooooo.......

So how was everyone's New Year's and how is the New Year treating you so far?
