full plate...

St Luis was exhausting.... i came back totally frazzled and tired. it was good to be there and was moving, but so very tiresom. i told them that next year they need to break it up and have the events broken down over 2 days and not all just crammed into a 24 hr period. all of us there are disabled vets and cramming things into a 24 hr period is insane. the pain was unbearable and i had almost NO sleep over the 4 days. i was only in St Luis for a little over 24 hrs and the rest was travel time. holy cow.... . when i got home, i had told Matthew that i was at my wits end and needed sleep and rest. but instead of getting peace and quiet, it ended up being a total nightmare. he did nothing but argue with me for 2 days straight. it got so bad, i was throwing small objects and telling him to get the f*ck out of my life. told him to leave the f*cking island. he started breaking down crying and saying good bye to Miko (the cat) just sobbing and crying. so i called his best friend over to come talk some sense into him. she talked to him for 2 whole hrs (in the midle of the night) and told us that we have to work it out, cuz whoever we date in the future (if we break up) we'll end up killing them.  turns out that he was giving me so much shit cuz last month when they dx his buldging disc in his neck we had gotten into an argument and he thought i when i said "i didn't give a shit" that i was referring to his injury. so when i got back from St Luis his arguing with me was his way of getting even. then i explained to him when i said i didn't give a shit, it was referring to his ATTITUDE, not his injury. suddenly everyTHing changes. WTF. i told him he has no love anymore. and that's why i was thinkin of getting him out of my life. we saw the couples counselor Fri and she talked us thru it. we are starting over fresh and leaving all bad behaviors in the past and to stop assuming what the other person said. PLUs NO MORE GETTING EVEN. today, i'm just trying to get this ex land lady of ours from last year (right b4 we bought this house), into the f*cking court room and to get my f*cking money back!!!! i can't walk away from $2,700! that's a lot of money! i'm stressin pretty bad about it. i spoke to legal aid and will bring the paper work down to them tomorrow. in other news.... it's been like 1.5 months off cymbalta and i'm still having withdrawals. having brain zaps and all. saw rheumatology yesterday and they are just useless!! worthless! i'm just gonna follow up with neurology from now on (for the fibromyalgia). tired of ignorant docs. Thanksgiving is coming up, so i gotta get my mind straight and start counting my blessings. Gotta thank God for all He has given me. if any of you reading this want to be on my holiday cards list, just let me know. private messsge me your adrs and such! take care for now! Gods bless! and as usual, if you have any advice, i'm all ears.

Hi, friend...only since you asked, here\'s my advice...worth about two cents (LOL)..forget the $2700 and forget the ex land lady..you said you are \"stressing out pretty bad about it\". Can you let it go? If so, it may be well worth the peace it can bring you.
Sounds like a good time to read and reread the Serenity Prayer..
All the best..Mary
ps how do I private message you?

i can\'t let $2,700 go. i NEED the money, that is why i\'m stressed. if i didn\'t need the money i wouldn\'t be stressed.

Hey, sista! All I can say is that I\'m happy to hear that you and Matthew are getting through things. You guys are really good together. It would make me really sad if y\'all broke up. As for the money, I hope you get it back. It\'s definitely not easy when you know you need the money and you stress over it because then it makes things worse for you. I\'m here for you and have your back, so, let me know if there\'s anything I can do! The last thing I wanted to say is that I love you and that I will be here for you always! Take care. xoxoxo

You\'re probably not going to like this, but people don\'t change unless they want to and Matthew has not demonstrated any real desire to change. The \"getting even\" thing is behond childish. He\'s messed up in ways that will take years of hard work to fix, and even then he has to want to do the work, and it IS work.

Cut him loose. Tell him to get in touch with you after he\'s been in therapy for a year and making progress. You deserve peace in your life and you\'re not going to get it with him. Some people are \"addicted\" to drama because that\'s what\'s \"normal\" for them - if there is no drama they will start some because they can\'t deal with peace and quiet.

Better to be alone and in peace than with someone and no peace.

maybe you guys just need to start to basics again. start dating, maybe he can stay with a friend for a few weeks or maybe in another room in the house. then you can start over and rekindle your friendship again!

he just got out of the army right? so he\'s probably still adjusting to regular life and trying to find his place again. hope everything works out with you both! and.. keep fighting for the money don\'t get stressed get mad!! lol ya Hawaii landlords suck!! get that money girl!!!!! hugzzz

Hey hun, sorry Ive been AWOL, and sorry you\'ve been going through so much crap. I hope you and Mathew can work things out - the counsellor is a good idea, if he/she is good at what he/she does. good luck with the court case - if you could afford not to chase it I would agree with Sue and say let it go, but I understand that it\'s alot of money to be short of - so keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Take care of yourself xo
