Journal Entry for December 1, 2008 Mood
Monday, December 1, 2008 | A General Update story

Okay, doing okay, but a little annoyed with some things. I think I have reached a new low in the career catagory. I'm working FOR my h and WITH my M-I-Law. I don't have a very firm grasp on what I'm doing to begin with, and my M-I-Law has been "correcting" me. Gotta love that. By the way, I'm not getting paid. I can come and go as I please, but all the same, it isn't really what I'd pick.

 

My h and I had a discussion the other night about sex. Same old complaints from him. I imformed him that he hasn't listened to me in months. I came home from a meeting and told him that I started to cry in it. He never batted an eye, never said a thing. The business has been very stressful for him. I know that it takes up all of his time. I haven't complained or said a thing. I'm not mad, just disappointed and lonely. We spent a long time learning how to communicate, but it doesn't work unless both partners want to communicate. That includes listening.

 

Thanksgiving. Let's see. No mashed potatoes, no stuffing, no gravy. Yuck. We ate at my inlaws. Then to top off the evening, my h got into an argument with his sister. I was smart and did the dishes, staying out of the fight. I almost bit my tongue off, but I resisted. There's no winning an argument with her, so why bother. She has re-created an event in her own mind, so why argue.

  1. Hi!

    Anything, anything but work with my mother in law!!! And to be criticized/corrected. I hope she's not a monster in law like mine would be. I think I'd definitely be taking my lunches AWAY from the office. Sanity break.

    You might want to remind your h of all the $ spent on counseling. If he doesn't want to go back anytime soon, maybe he can learn to spend a little bit of quality time with you. Some kind of talking, walking together, playing a game together or something. He's addicted to his work, but surely, he can break away for a break. :)

    Anyway, isn't it great that Thanksgiving comes one time a year? There's good & bad, but family time can be stressful. That's what I seem to gather from a lot of people.


    Hi!
