I haven't really shared with many (or really anyone) some of the not-so-nice bits of my marriage; but lies--some very big ones---were a part of it...and some half-truths. I don't know how we've pulled through sometimes...but we are working on things...it isn't easy.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237377304056071117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-7240246787964520912008-12-12T21:41:00.000-07:002008-12-12T21:41:00.000-07:00I can't really talk about things I really want to ...I can't really talk about things I really want to talk about when it comes to the family blog. Oh how I wish I could. And oh the stories I have. Maybe for another day soon. <BR/><BR/>I applaud you for writing about your personal feelings about your marriage. It's good that people are becoming more accepting of hearing about it all, too. Because it still seems that when we're all in relationships with our boyfriends we can talk about it all we want and it's okay. Once we get married, it's like some people expect you to shut up and keep it hush hush. I hate that. Yes, marriage is sacred, but my god. <BR/>Again, many kudos to you. And I hope you're feeling better although I know it takes quite a few days for the medication to kick in. And I know FOR A FACT, that if it was me in your position, I'd have PP, too. You've had so many bad things go wrong in such a short time. If it won't cause someone PP it would sure as hell cause a nervous breakdown.the nervous momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696938401875279166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-10983625249699062252008-12-12T17:25:00.000-07:002008-12-12T17:25:00.000-07:00SOmetimes marriage does suck, I agree.

Or he takes out his anger on me or the kids or the waiter at the restaurant. I actually called him a "f*cktard" last night. I think we all have to work at our marriages, you are not alone!Erinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049812397540278977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-61977688789973865712008-12-11T20:35:00.000-07:002008-12-11T20:35:00.000-07:00We were considering the implications of divorce tw...We were considering the implications of divorce two years ago. What amazed me the most was how much I could still love someone that I disliked so much.<BR/><BR/>It is such a long road getting throough the tough spots in marriage, but it is so worth it. It seems like you are a fighter and have a lot of patience. You need both to move on. Good luck and I'm praying for your marriage and all of the reconcilliation needed.Maremonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242840921336728031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-60802568321452725262008-12-11T19:11:00.000-07:002008-12-11T19:11:00.000-07:00Alicia, I thought the exact same thing about the V...Alicia, <BR/><BR/>I thought the exact same thing about the Virus Visit and the conversation that he had with his family before going over. After the phone call I had with Grandma L and I asked her specifics, I know she was the liar in that conversation with him, not the other way around.<BR/><BR/>BUT. I do feel like this issue has been a contributing factor in previous visits and events. It is how he deals, just like your husband. It makes it even more difficult over here that there are 2 people using the same skills.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988190251156621315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-16090537650542091902008-12-11T18:51:00.000-07:002008-12-11T18:51:00.000-07:00I know so many people that are addicted to nicotin...I know so many people that are addicted to nicotine and can't kick it. My FIL recently survived bladder cancer (smoking is one of the leading causes) and he still can't give up the crutch.<BR/>I have to go back and admit that when you were dealing with the whole sick nephew exposed to Carter incident I was questioning whether Bill was telling you the entire truth about the conversation with his sister. I mena I think he knew how sick the nephew was and only heard what he wanted to hear so he could avoid the confrontation of not showing up. My husband lies about many things when dealing with his parents and it has taken us almost 10 years of marriage to get on the same page and although he no longer lies to me about things involving his family (I've caught him too many times), I have heard him tell blatent lies on the phone to his parents. When I ask him why, he says it makes them feel good and he didn't know what to say to them. I would never do that, but that is how he deals.<BR/>Hang in there, work at it; not just for Logan and Carter, but also for yourself!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17531223652076991523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-1120944780659462992008-12-11T18:09:00.000-07:002008-12-11T18:09:00.000-07:00Marriage isn't easy...good for you sticking it out...Marriage isn't easy...good for you sticking it out through the good and bad...I cant stand being lied to it drives me bonkers..if you cant tell the truth dont talk..take care of yourself...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
