The thing is several of my coworkers and friends are going through divorces. Some recent, some not so much so. Most of them are happy about this at this point. Last night my husband and I decided to fight. Okay, so he decided, I didn't get much of a choice. Don't get me wrong, I knew it was coming, we have been fighting allot lately so I knew the time was near. The thing is (hey stalker, you'll love this) he decided to tell me what a horrible person I was, what a bad mother I am, and all around how worthless I am, not to mention who in their right mind would date a woman with four kids.. Yeah, that made me feel pretty good about myself. Today he says he was just mad and he didn't mean any of it but I just don't want to hear it at this point. I left. I went to a friends house and we talked. It has been a while since we have really talked but very little has changed, so it was easy. I guess it just added to my feeling of being confused though because some has changed. I will just have to deal with that. I am feeling rather confused today and trying to figure out the next step in my life. The thing is, I like being married. I like having a home with my family. I hate being miserable. Right now I am miserable. For a long time I have been miserable. I am tired of fighting. I don't even hurt anymore. I don't really feel much of anything when we fight. It's not fair to me, nor to him. I think it's the same for him. He feels anger quite well but anything else is beyond him. I understand that so I am not blaming him for it but it doesn't help any. So, after I left he called several times and left me voice mails. It sounded like two different people. Some of them were nice. Some of them were demeaning. Then this morning he tells me that he doesn't want to lose me. The thing is, he lost me a long time ago. I don't even really know him anymore. I don't want to start over. I know that I am not an ugly girl so I know I could get a date.. someone who would want to sleep with me.. but he's right, who would want to be with someone with four kids, I wouldn't. Anyway, someone said something to me yesterday and I have thought about it allot. They said, 'You are not alone. There are plenty of us here who care about you and will be here for you. You don't have to go through anything alone anymore.' Now, the thing is that I am the kind of person who keeps everything to themselves for as long as they can possibly hold it inside. It isn't because I don't think people care about me, it's because there is always someone out there who has it worse than me, there is always other things going on in people's lives. I don't want to burden them with my petty issues. The issues go away. It just takes time. This is the place where I come to complain. In my everyday life those of you who know me know that I would rather listen to someone else's problems then complain about my own.. and this person I love more than I could ever explain to her.. and I want her to know that her words meant allot to me, and just because I keep things inside doesn't mean that I don't love or appreciate her, or the other people I have close to me. She don't realize how sometimes she makes my day better with a smile or a kind word. Sometimes she just pats me on my back and as silly as it is it makes me feel better. I just close myself off from time to time.. and trust me, it's better that way. Lately (the last couple of days anyway) I have felt really alone.. and I know it's because I pushed everyone away.. I don't think I mean to, it just happens.. Just know that I love you all and you mean the world to me. I promise if something is going on with me eventually I will tell you about it. If I need someone I know you are there. There are a few of you that I know I could turn to, and if the time comes and I need to, I promise I will. Okay, I am done for now, I have to go decide what I am doing tonight. I'm Out.
By the way, I may have been a crybaby for the past three days but I HAVE posted!
