So found out this morning that hubs WILL be home tonight. :D Trying to get through work (2-1/2 more hours), then off to yoga and then prepping for the weekend. We're spending a couple of days at a hotel... our house is WAY too tiny for a reunion with two kidlets in the house! :rolleyes: I'm...

Mo, I can imagine how frustrating it is to be unable to do certain things due to your physical limitations. I only have a SLIGHT inkling personally, because a few years ago my thyroid was quitting on me and my adrenals were tanking due to stress, which flipped out my other hormones until my...

That's just sucky. :( Maybe instead of a fail, you can look at it like a growth experience. You figured out that there are things YOU need in a relationship (any relationship), silly things like communication, honesty and RESPECT. :rolleyes: This information is good stuff, and will serve you...

I can speak personally that this is always a good idea. Often my first reaction is panic/emotion/fear driven. I need the time to settle down and let it dwindle a bit, so that I can think rationally and figure out what's triggering me. Often it's just the "suddenness", and once I work through...

I've used them for years (down here the brand is "instead") for during sex and with the exception of the ONE really bad day I usually have, they've been great! And even then if you do it right before it should be cool... :)

In my honest and humble opinion... the fact that he has lied to her is the biggest red flag. He needs to come clean to her about that before anything goes any further. If she's going to be around she needs to know the honest truth first. Maybe he was feeling neglected-- that is no excuse. That...

I was asking your original question.. or a question in your original post: "Am I wrong? Should I be more patient? Should I approach this differently?" And yes, I think you should approach this differently and yes I think you should be more patient. I also think approaching people in your...

So I'm feeling very reflective today. Hubs and I hadn't been good in a long time. The goal for this year was to do couple's counseling, which got derailed when he got sent across the country unexpectedly. During this time, even though we were so far apart, we did do a lot of work on us, AND I...

I'm in grad school, so hobbies are hard to come by lately! But... I am currently WAY into hot yoga right now. As for other hobbies here and there... I am an avid reader (and I do consider that a hobby!), and I like to take dance classes when I can.

Of course the dictionary definition is not going to encompass all of the meanings we, as individuals, put into words in general. LOL, I most certainly would not assume that you were "dating" your mother just because you had regular "dates". That was my point... that the definition of date and...

Well, this "broad and very loose definitrion of dating" is the one in the dictionary. Anything you add into that is your own addition, which is cool. Just don't expect anybody else to know what you mean unless you explain it to them. Now if you will excuse me, I have a skype date with hubs. :)

I don't know, in my experience a "date" just means a time set aside to meet with someone to do something. For example "I have a lunch date with two of my good girlfriends today." Or "I have a dinner date tonight with a new beau." One is just friendly, one is perhaps more. According to...

That stinks Derby. Maybe it's more about the "wrongness" factor than whether or not it affects your everyday life. To see someone taken in by a person who is -- well, less than honest or who is manipulative-- is hard to take, even if that friendship is less than stellar. Only you can figure...

LOL, I know! I'm telling you us women with partners with ADD need to get together more often! :) They are such wonderful, fun people, but when it comes down to getting things done-- can be interesting!!

Hi there and welcome! so yes, it was a lot of text :) So I'm only going to comment on one piece of it... You say he says he cannot control or handle his emotions. Not true. He may not know how to do that, or have the right tools on hand, but he can CHOOSE to get help in doing that, and that's...

So a new week!! I am very excited as hubs is coming home this weekend, though I still don't know for sure what day (Fri or Sat) and won't know that until Friday at some point. LOL, gotta love the military... This week is CRAZY busy for me. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed and just take each...

My feeling is that if you are "looking" for people, it tends to not happen. I've had the same issues (and I'm a girl!), and I'm starting to just let it go and instead of looking for people to meet, I'm just trying to get out more, and get more involved with activities I love and eventually I...

My guess is the kids know. Kids are smart and they pick up on that stuff much more than adults realize. They probably know, but either don't want to talk about it, or don't care. :)

Oh, and Mo... I was also thinking last night and it occurred to me that you most likely still have triggers that get you to that old bad place. I know that hubs and I have been through a lot in the past eleven years and there are still things he can do/say that take me straight back to all the...

Hmmm... now that sounds like a good idea! :p No problem! It's all really fresh in my mind right now as I've been rereading things in my quest to get a good handle on who hubs and I are as separate people and our strengths and weaknesses. I think sometimes we get caught up trying to get the...
