Hi everyone...been a while since I posted. Yesterday afternoon my AH said he was leaving to have some new tires put on our truck. After about 4 hrs of him being gone, I called him to discover he was at the bar, just having '1 drink' with his buddy. I asked him to please come home..the reason being is its my birthday today and we had plans. He rolled in at 2am and I've just got up to find him slumped over on the couch, boots and jacket still on...all the plans for today are now out of the window. How many more birthdays is he going to ruin? I'm trying to stay positive and figure I'll meet a girlfriend for lynch and maybe go for a beautiful hike by myself. .while he sleeps off his binge from last night. I'm used to doing things by myself. .I feel especially sad and lonely today though..my special day.. anyways..just reaching out to you lovely ladies as I'm sure some of you can relate. Hope you have a beautiful day , as I'm going to try to also.
I'm so sorry Robynne. ...I, too, came to realize I could never plan anything....special days were so lonely. That's all we can do ...find things that give us beauty and joy in spite of feeling like a widow to alcohol. We really are like widows without actually being one. I hope you are able to laugh and feel free of responsibility for him and truly enjoy your birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYNNE!!!!! HOPE YOU HAVE FUN ANYWAY !!! :)
Thank you so much for your support Laurie & jahz - I have made arrangements to meet some friends for lunch and then we are going to take a wonderful snowy hike - it's snowing where I am - the first time ever for my birthday. I shall take it as a sign of cleansing and good things coming my way. He hasn't woken up yet , snoring his head off on the couch. I spoke to my family (who live in another state) from the garage as I had to completely fake it and act like he was being a wonderful husband today. They don't know how bad it's got. And I choose to keep it that way as I don't want them to worry. They were in the middle of a birthday party for my nephew who shares this day with me. I could hear all the laughter and love and it only added to my complete feeling of being so alone. However, I refuse to allow him to take away all my joy. I will have a great day once I get out today and I wish you both the same xoxo
So sorry for the pain he caused you I too had many holidays spoiled by his drucken
Attitude. I finally got to the point if I wanted to enjoy my day.. do it with a friend or my self.
It a sad thing that when you are married you dream of them by your side ...not if they are they
Are annoying the daylights out of you.
Wishing you a happy birthday.many hugs and prayers
