Last night i was trying to talk to hubby. He's a man & as all us women know, men have selective hearing. lmao {love ya guys}
Well, i told him to sign on to DS & read my journals so he knows how im feeling & the tv or the kids or the animals arnt interupting him.
what do u all think bout that approach???

Also, lets get the OLD DS back!!!!

I always advise to people to write to their loved ones, I know its easier than to make oneself understood when you are very emotional. Great idea girlie, let us know how your huby is taking it :)

I think its a fantastic idea! I've suggested the same to my other half but I think he's afraid of finding out the truth.

If it works for you thats great but I like privacy and space away from my family to put my innermost feelings. Whatever makes us as individuals happy is the way to go.

so far all hes said was he read a couple days. At least i got him thinking. I really thought he understood more but i do understand hes got shit going on at work too.

I think its a good idea, a few years ago when I was having trouble talking to my T, she suggested I write in a journal everyday and then show it to her... hope it works for you!

Something about reading it and it being in print. It should hit him a lot more than just being spoken. But playing advocate, if he's like mine, it won't stick. Sorry, but prepare yourself. But you can have him read it every few months to refresh him.

I wonder if he remembers when we got married????

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
