I wish I understood... how?
By: MommyOfWho? | 03-09-2008
I wish I understood..... how? I am at the end of my rope. I am with what I think is the love of my life. At the beginning he was loving, affectionate, caring... attentive... and he pays more attention to the dog. He tells me he loves me, hates to see me upset and hurting. The only thing I ask him for is a bit of quality time, which obviously.... he won't give me. It always comes down to the same thing, us going round for round about me asking for quality time alone and his telling me I'm selfish and demanding for expecting that, me tellling him I've been waiting for "time" for three months and your friends get it all, he tells me I'm crazy and I cry. I know I should not threaten anything without fully being willing to follow through with it. I got to the point that I started packing to leave, which apparently put the fear of God into him, he apologized to me. Told me he just doesn't know how to give me what I want. (???) And then gives me endless attention until it seems I'm comfortable again and then he goes back to his old ways. Is there some way to explain to him that he is hurting me? I've told him exactly what I've put here, and he acknowledges it, but never does anything to change it. He has no problem telling me he hates seeing me so down or crying, but won't do anything to stop making me feel this way. I hope that doesn't sound like it's all about me, because that isn't what I'm going for here... I'm trying to go for "US". I've asked him to go to counseling with me, but he holds this attitude that if you see a counselor, it's like saying your crazy.

Too many life changes to handle, what do I do?
By: grandebold0 | 02-09-2008
I'm a recent college graduate (2000-2004) who went straight into a full-time career and then enrolled in grad school at the same time. My "after-college" experience started 3 yrs ago (2004-2007) and during this time I kept a long-term relationship with my girlfriend who I am still dating now. During the 3 years I spent working/going to grad school, my friends who did or did not go to school after high school started getting married one at a time. It wasn't until after I finished grad school (2007) that all this change hit me like a brick wall. All of a sudden I had excess money, free-time, and an urge to start up that party-like social atmosphere that was put off for 3 years. However, my friends were missing from the scene or they'd bring out their significant others/spouses and would act like someone else than the person I remembered. My social life went on pause for things that took priority in my life, education & career, but for those around me they kept changing. All this change is too much for me and it feels like I lost all that was important and that it's time to play catch up. My best friend is getting married next year and we rarely hang out like we used to. He asked me to be the best man at his wedding, but sometimes I feel like his brother should be in that role or maybe someone who relates to him better. He hangs out with a different group of people that he works with who have a few married couples in the mix and I do the same but with almost all single people. I've always put my best friends on a pedestal, like family, did I make a mistake doing this?This is happening while I am still in an almost 4 year relationship with my girlfriend which has been a rollercoaster ride. We only see each other one or two days a week because of work and geography, and those days are precious. It's the days we're apart that are difficult with the phone arguments and sometimes it just seems that we aren't as compatible as the couples we see getting married. My fear is that I'm dragging her along and that once we do get the opportunity to spend a week or two at a time together that we just won't work out. (this will happen soon, read on)If my social turmoil weren't enough, my current job is up in the air as well. I work for a company that filed bankruptcy and it looks like I'll have to be getting a new job soon, by the end of the year actually. My education and skills will keep me employed so the money isn't a worry, but that's once again another change to deal with. Oh, did I mention...  I just bought a house and am closing in a week. Yikes! Ok, I'm officially stressed to the max with everything that's going on and it's starting to show in my behavior at work, with friends, with my girlfriend, and just in general..... I don't know what to do and I feel like crying. I haven't cried since I was 12 and got hit in the back with a baseball while playing little league!!!

I am being honest with myself to save my marriage
By: John-ever-learning | 01-09-2008
Good morning.  In my previous question I mentioned the struggles my wife and I are having.  Heck, we're even separated.  This time is supposed to be used for self reflection and so she can determine what it is that she wants.  So, with this time, I have been brutally honest with myself.  Here are some things I've learned about me. 1.  I try and make my emotions facts and rationalize them even though they are irrational, ever changing and fleeting. 2.  I compensated for my anger, hurt, and frustration by doing overly nice things rather than letting those emotions out.  I just bottle them in. 3.  My anger and overwhelming emotions come out in the form of my being impatient, being hard on myself, and being a slight perfectionist. 4.  I haven't wanted to accept my wife's feeling of possibly not loving me.  In fact, I tried changing how she felt instead.  I'm truly sorry for this one. 5.  When faced with my wife telling me that she didn't love me the way I deserve I had no idea how to react.  I just stood there.  I few days later I tried to rationalize my non-reaction as extreme disappointment.  I didn't want to face it.  I was scared, hurt, and angery.  Rather than deal with the situation I tried to control the situation.  I burried my hurt, anger, and sadness and then tried to "fix" the situation.  I just couldn't accept that I was unable to make things better. 6.  I believe it's the controlling type behavior of my trying to show my wife that she can't live without me that makes me look very needy (safe from rejection, being abandoned, and ultimately alone.) 7.  It's like I try to ignore my feelings as if the bad stuff might magically go away. 8.  I'm afraid of losing my wife's love, companionship, trust, conversation, and intimacy. This Friday when I see her again at marriage counseling I'm going to bring this up.  I just hope that I haven't been in denial so long that I've pushed her away.    If you need back story on this, here's the link to my previous question. http://yedda.com/questions/save_marriage_family_relationships_5041308716343/
