i am in the middle of a manic state lacking sleep in an absolute rage with a terrible sinus infection to top it off and my husband thinks it is more important to go move furniture at the night club he decided to work at against my wishes. he went to work tonite for free because they will give him free drinks at a halloween party. i must really suck if i am less important than a bottle of vodka. i can't take this anymore.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
It may not have anything to do with you and just about his issues and how he is dealing with your behavior.
I understand it still hurts though. Could you do something nice for yourself tonight??? Maybe just talking here. I'll throw a piece of chocolate your way!
Hugs Ireland...I hope he takes the time to understand BP soon.
Take good care and a nice hot bath.
No, YOU don't suck. He's the one who sucks, at least at the moment!!!
And maybe you SHOULDN'T take this anymore. It certainly sounds like something has to give.
You've already gotten help from therapy. Have you tried marriage counseling yet? Perhaps that would help go a long way towards finding more satisfaction in your marriage. If he refuses to try that, then perhaps you should go back into therapy yourself to help you consider your options and come to a decision as to what to do.
I'm so sorry your dealing with no sleep, a sinus condition and a nonsupportive spouse.
He's got some serious problems of his own to tend to, and I hope that he does.
Good luck!!! I hope things look up soon!!!
While I take your point about the females that he works with and his attitude towards their affection -- I wouldn't like that in the least, either!!! -- a bigger truth is that the world is full of women, everywhere one goes.
If you don't like or trust how he behaves about women there, you probably aren't going to feel completely happy about him, in this regard in general, even if he doesn't work at the club. Within this context, the club is just highlighting and exacerbating a wider ranging problem that should probably be dealt with.
Good luck. I don't think he has his priorities straight right now. I think he should be much more supportive of you right now.
Sigh. It's so hard to get non-BPs to understand just how difficult an illness this is!!!
