Alone

Today I was at work. Normally I can talk to him during my lunch break but today I couldn't. He knew that ahead of time. He also knew I may be later today than normal which I actually was not. I came home to no one. It has been a long time since...
Keeping track of things

I have been meaning for quite sometime to keep better track on a calendar of where his moods are at what times. I know last month I posted my post called "leaving". I was pretty darn certain that was it for him- he was going to leave me to set up...
That deep dark place

You know that place... Ugh.I was raised not to hate stuff or use that word- but man I hate that deep dark place they can go into sometimes! He is there- he's been going there and scraping his way back up. He's still fighting, he hasn't given in...
Why?

Why do we stay?Sometimes it is so easily answered. Love, kindness, belonging, sweetness, friendship. There are countless reasons why I love this man and why I wouldn't want to be without him.But sometimes it gets so dark and dreary that it is...

The straw, the camel, & depression

Do you ever feel like the straw the breaks the camels back has landed? I used to feel that way in the beginning (him being the camel and said situation being the straw). Now that has faded away. He's still the camel- and that back is still...
leaving

Oh Thralkr, I know you have gone through this for so long. Mine is threatening leaving me- he misses his friends and family back home. We just haven't had opportunites that make sense to go there. We are safe and secure where we live but it is...

tough night

Long story short, he changed plans abruptly tonight. I never deal well with this... he at times feels things (and by this I mean EVERYTHING and ALL the time) are too much to handle so it is easier to stay home and do nothing. He did this today......

Fear
