Sounds like you had some great mother daughters bonding time :D. So glad to hear the youngest daughter is improving. Saw them in DC 2 years ago and I wasn't all that impressed. Sounds like you got a better concert. I just got back from Nashville where I saw Montgomery Gentry in a small...

I would seriously suggest some marriage counseling! Your husband constantly telling you that you are over reacting is a great BIG RED FLAG, that things are already in a bad place between you. He is beating you down and making you second guess your reasonable self. Frankly the more you describe...

WTF?!? When did they meet in person and who decided? It sounds like they just recently met "in real life" and then THEY decided she was going to move in with you. This just sounds like a recipe for disaster. Have a written rental agreement in place and put into writing what her monthly rent...

Best way to do this is to just DO IT! It's like playing an instrument, no matter how bad you are at it in the beginning, there is no way to improve unless you practice. The more you do it, the easier it gets. Take the conversation seriously and avoid the pity parties. Don't degrade yourself...

Just to reiterate, the CHILD is "in time-out/grounded." When she has served her time, her phone privileges will be returned. This is not a punishment for GG. When my husband or I are out of town, and the kids are being punished by the other parent, the phone conversation only lasts about a...

When my SIL went back to school, things with her husband went from bad to worse. When I started making more money than my husband, things started to really go down hill (I now make twice what he does). I've seen and heard this a lot, especially if the spouse/partner has no desire to go back to...

Just a question, did things with GG go from bad to worse when you started back to school?

It sounds like you guys came up with some good working plans to accomplish your goals. Northern CA is gorgeous!

I hate that. Every time my husband says that, it's like fingernails down a blackboard, and all my defenses go up, because I just know that I will be paying for it in the weeks ahead with other passive-aggressive bs. Don't clean your room for me, clean your room to keep the maggots away. If you...

Hugs! I hate when you've been given horrible news, let you think the worst and then let you stew in fear for a month. If it was my kid, I think I'd call the Primary Dr. Office and say "WTF! You tell my daughter her baby has no face and defective heart, then refer her to a specialist that can't...

TV shows the extremes, but there are good points to learn from and keep it from getting to the extreme. Working on the procrastination issues is probably the best place to start. You'll find that once you get that under control, some of the other things will start to fall into place much...

What beautiful little angels! :D:D:D:D

Many people are capable of loving more than one, but not necessarily good at juggling all the extra responsibilities that come with being actively living a poly life. I disagree - It's hard to see how bad things are really getting until they are unbearable. Start counseling and work on your...

Setting up the reminders is a very good start! Sometimes even getting one or two small things accomplished each day can make a huge difference in your whole outlook on everything else. For me just scheduling those nasty/annoying appointments I've been avoiding makes it easier to start to focus...

HeHe - I completely get it ;). My husband doesn't care to do it either, but sometimes I just have to beg. :D

Spend some time just touching and learning about each other. Sometimes gear is just "stuff". Me personally - oral works much better and any "gear". Talk to her! Find out if "I'm tired" mean no sex or she's just too tired to be assertive?

While I'm super bad about this, my mom always said that when the crazy happens and you can't get your list done, make sure you ADD all the other stuff that came up and you did do instead and cross those off. If you had to go rescue a friend that was having car problems, write it on the...

There are 4 relationships here that must be feed or they will die of starvation: You & Bud You & Sweet Lady Bud & Sweet Lady You, Bud & Sweet Lady Each of these configurations need attention and nurturing. Unfortunately, the oldest relationship tends to get pushed aside as focus shift to the...

However, it's really hard to clean when there is clutter everywhere. My family are clutter magnets. It takes special conscious effort to go through all the papers, and stuff that builds up over the week, but it has to be done. A good rule of thumb at our house, if we haven't used it, gone...

So what has changed in this last year to make things reach the point of critical mass? What would you do differently now that you can look back? I haven't been in your shoes, but my husband exhibits similar traits and it can be crazy-making. FIRST - Make an appointment with your therapist...
