Did you ever have a day where you just wanted to give up and throw in the towel? No matter what you do it's wrong and you can't do enough to make it right? I feel like these days are happening more and more. When these days occur, I just want to curl up on the couch with my laptop and watch TV...

Maybe you just need to leave the area and start over again. I tell people that all the time when they seem like they are in a rut and life is boring. Maybe even consider going on vacation to a place you would consider moving too and check it out first. Wishing you all the best!

I have occasionally said, "Yeah I'm okay, but I could be better". Sometimes they ask what's wrong, and other times they just look at me and laugh. I really don't think it's funny so I just stare at them to make them as uncomfortable as I am miserable.

Thanks for your reply! I see your point and it has made me think quite differently about the whole situation. I guess that not feeling appreciated is where he was coming from. I think that we give him lots of support and compliments about that though, Maybe he was just having a bad day at work...

Thanks for your response, and more importantly for the compliment and the vote of confidence!! I don't know if he was looking for an excuse to separate or just a way to threaten me so he can get his own way! I'm sure if you would ask both of us separately we would both say that this marriage...

So apparently after a small misunderstanding and a joke that was taken the wrong way, I have gone from being married for 17 years to being separated, but living in the same house. I just don't get it. Yeah, we have not been getting along for awhile now, but I did not think that it was that bad...

PLEASE feel free to share ANYTHING with me!! Sounds like an awful experience for you! I'm sorry to hear about having ALL that responsibility dumped on you! I must have been and still is very hard on you. Sounds like you were not able to enjoy and thrive in your own life. I agree that there...

No offense taken.....in fact, I agree with you. My husband is usually a great father, but when it comes to me...he gets bitter. I guess he did not sign up to have a wife like this and it's cramping his style. If my physical and mental health were better, we would just get divorced I think. I try...

Thanks for the reply! I don't think my husband actually gives a honeysuckle that not only did he forget my birthday dinner, but he also did not buy me anything. I just feel bad for our kids because they are too small to go out on their own to buy gifts. He is not teaching them to be respectful to...

Thank you! I hope to get relief from my pain here too!

Thanks so much for your reply! I think we are both on the same page here as we do a lot of the same things for Christmas and birthdays; our kids are the top priority. I hear ya though on the financial issues. That's why I picked the Olive Garden for my dinner. My husband's birthday was in...

Thanks for the reply!

Just not having a good day today. Actually....it started last week. My birthday was Wednesday. My husband bought me a card as well as my kids. They asked me what I wanted for my birthday a week earlier. I told them that I wanted to go to the Olive Garden for dinner on the weekend after. The...

Even though I don't suffer from anxiety or panic attacks doesn't mean that I don't know how you feel. Being isolated and antisocial is just making things worse. You should try to do something new that you've never done before, but always wanted to do. Get yourself in a position to talk to people...

I love your response! Thank you so much! I have some good days and those are far and few between, but I tend to isolate myself so that I don't "infect" others with my mood. I think that you are soooo right about trying other things to cope and I may just try that! Thanks again!
