Hey Tami,

Fled posted on the vacation thread yesterday:

What am I going to do with my extra hour????? sleep...too late
Cut up DH's elk? yeahhhh, that's it. He took
DS 10 with him and they got a 4 x 4. Now they are out trying to get the rest of him out of a ravine. I'm on call this weekend so I can't go help this time. Too far out and my phone doesn't work out there.

Hi Tami!!!!

I've checked up on you but not seen anything written. How is it going? What is happening?

As Ace pointed out I've been a little busy. For some reason I've had weekend call three of the past four weekends. Also, DH got an elk this past weekend and a 4 x 4 deer two weekends ago. I obviously need to be home more so he has to go camp with me instead of hunt with DS. LOL

I'm doing okay. Worried about my DS19. His GF messed around on him the first week of college. They are still trying to figure it out. He was in tears on the phone with me last night. Can't reach out and hug him this far away. He is also bothered that when they all head home he is on someone's couch because we aren't there anymore <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> He will be home for Thanksgiving. I am going to give him the Fall in Love, Stay in Love book. I've been talking to him about boundaries, demanding respect. He just can't see a future love with out his "First Love".

It's cold today, I'm making Elk and veggie soup for dinner tonight. I think it's only going to be 38 today and 14 tonight. This is our first cold snap.

So, are you plan b? catch me up. I'll go look at your other threads but I found this one first.
Take care Tami
I usually check in at lest every other day. I spend most of it on recovery but do scan over here for you.

Hi Fled,

So glad to hear from you!! Sound like your busy....3 weekend in a row? Who you piss off?!? Most likely they need the very best...and you're it! I'm not a big elk fan but a patient of mine use to give me elk summer sausage. Yummy!!

Well, plan B? I sorta wimped out for a second and told him that he should stay home while he's in counseling. But he SAYS that he should do what I asked him to do which is to move out. But he's not done anything to make steps to actually move out.

My fear is that with him out it would push him into the OW's arms but I realize that no matter where he is he's still WITH her even if only emotionally. Though I think he is questioning his "love" for her. He can't give me a reassurance that he won't turn to her, he says he has no intentions to do that. But they cont. to work together and she's always asking him How are You? One night he's going to fall off the wagon and she'll be there to catch him. I just don't want to be hurt anymore...you know?

I have chosen to trust that he won't throw me under the bus, but to be honest I don't know if I can.

I do know that he is now having second thoughts about leaving me alone. I have many friends that are single, they have asked me to go with them for years. I have always said that I need to go home to be with my H. But we are all going out on 11/30 to a concert and he's worried about it. Also he thinks that I am interested in someone else, that's the reason I have asked him to move out. I told him there isn't anyone else. But I have to say it does make me feel a little better to see his concern that there maybe another person interested in me. Hee hee.

So at this time, he is still home. He has another session on friday. He said his counselor is kinda confused by why he's seeing her. When she asked him what our relationship is like, he told her that he felt like we have a really good relationship...we get along, have fun together, have great conversation, have the same goals, and other then he doesn't desire me sexually, he can't find anything wrong with our M. She's got her hand full with my H!

He did tell me that maybe part of the reason he turned away from me is cause I was so down on myself but I told him that doesn't make sense cause the OW has even a lower self esteem then I did. He of course didn't have a answer to that.

He's coming out of his fog....slowly but sometimes the fog is still thick.

So that's what's been going on in my part of the woods. And it's been sunny and just down right pleasant, totally not a normal Oct.

Stay warm! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I hope your son is doing okay. It's do hard to see them be hurt...you just want to make it all better. It was so much easier when they were little, a hug , a kiss, a storybook, blanket...secret fort in the living room was all it would take to make it all right.

Tell him to hang in there, not all relationships are like this. It has to be even harder for him to not have the comfort of HOME. He's very lucky to have you.

Holy cow, I mean turkey....thanksgiving already? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

By the way I looovvveee chocolate martinis! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Tami,

I'm glad your WH is finally seeing a counselor. Hopefully it's a good one. They do get scared when you get strong. Going and doing things for yourself and with friends scares them. It's part of the attraction. It's good for him to fear losing you finally.

I know your afraid of him turing to the OW if he is out of the house. But, it didn't stop him before. Stay true to yourself and your needs and boundaries. Find a way to start enjoying your life. I got so busy raising the kids and focusing on the future for years that I forgot about living. Now that is my priority. Fortunately we both benefit from living life together in our fifteen hours a week. When I can get away from my dam cell phone (call phone). We will try to go camping again this weekend. Supposed to be warmer for a couple of days.
I can't wait for DS to come home for turkey day. I sure miss him and hurt for him. I life the chocolate martini's too, but I also used to live in KY and they make a great kenuckytini (2 parts good bourbon and 1 part amarretto with a cherry) or my most recent standby is tequila and diet coke. But, I've been so busy that I haven't had any of those for the past three weeks. I'm backup call tonight as well.....so, nada por me.

Keep me updated and let me know how your doing and how things are going.
