Marriage is not what I'd hoped

Yeah, appreciate each other and respect playes a major part as well. The lasting emotion is friendship

If my wife wasn't such a ditch most of the time, I think we could actually be friends.

But as it stands now, I'm on constant guard thinking she's gonna stab me with a flaming pitch fork while I'm taking rest in the gutter.

Ditch

I'm late to this thread, but asking this question on this board strikes me as very ironic.

Speaking only for myself, I am the LAST person who ANYONE should be asking relationship advice of.

I won't even tell you how much I pay in child support, you wouldn't believe me.

Some days, I wish that I had gotten the pitchfork!!

 
Anger management helped me tremendously. Believe it of not P&G is the right thing to do. My wife would follow me around the house and took what ever time it took to make me loose it. This takes hours most times BTW. I learned the only thing I can control is MYSELF. I started to stay with my Mom 2 -3 nights a week. This was having a significant positive effect. But then she got stage 4 cancer. I moved back in permanently and took care of her and the kids. I held her hand as she died. SHE still fought me ALL the WAY. I moved in and out of her space as needed. Just do what you have to do. CONTROL YOURSELF. Yes I believe in sticking it out, no body understood why I did not divorce her. I have kids, like you, I made the commitment, but this is what it took for me to make it work.

 
As a male divorced and now remarried I learned a few things about myself that has made this marriage wonderful. I don't just love my wife I LIKE her. Not THINGS about her but WHO she is as a person. I know it sounds way to simple but it's true. I was way selfish in my 1st marriage and now I find myself not wanting to be this way because of how unselfish my wife is. FIND SOME ONE THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON. Not someone who is trying to change you but someone that cause the spark to ignite in you without forcing it. I adore my wife...she is beautiful in EVERY way a women could ever wish to be.

You ever see an old couple holding hands or looking at each other in a way that matters more than anything? I believe they have found the truth...they spent their life giving to each other and not taking. Give to the one you love....don't take. Support...don't put down. Be their biggest fan. ALLOW them to not be perfect. Expect less and enjoy when you get more...tell your spouse she/he is beautiful to you...every day. Look for the good and do not hunt down the bad. Grow old together and be thankful every day.

 
Seriously late in the game for this topic, but here goes anyway (finally got the 3 kids to bed, my elderly grandmother to bed, etc.). Marriage is work. Some. Serious. Hard. Work. I was always the "cut and run" girl. Things got bad, break off the relationship, and run off to the next one. The one saving grace for us, though, is there is no "escape clause" or "Plan B". We are married. Period. Come Hell or high water (sometimes both) we make it through. We have gone through a lot together. Dated in high school, got pissed at each other and fought for a few years. Dated in college, got pissed at each other for a few years. Then, we finally woke up and saw the good thing we have together. So, get married, and BAM. Two months later I am preggo. Then, when she turned one, I got preggo again. When our next little girl was exactly 6 weeks old, my grandfather (who raised me in absence of my own "father") was put on hospice. I was his caregiver (away from hubby with a 2 year old and 6 week old nursling) when hospice was not there. He died within 3 days. And, I fell apart. My husband (in his own weird, guy, awkward way) was there for me. Not exactly how I wanted him to be, but he did the best he knew how. I am thankful I have a mom and friends that point that out for me. Our second daughter turns 8 months old, and apparently we celebrate by getting pregnant with our now 10-month old son. Then, the beginning of this year, my husband has an emergency appendectomy, and two days later I am hauled away in an ambulance because of a second grand-mal seizure (first was in November 2011). A little less than a month later, we get hit with me being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. All of this has happened, and we will only have been married 5 years in September.

Now, on to other stuff. He can drive me absolutely batty sometimes. He loves antique cars. I could not care less about fixing up clunkers and going to car shows. I love to paint/decorate/sew/decorate/whatever. And, could not care less about that mess. And on, and on our differences go. RIght now (and over the past year or so since my Pa died), I have been in my hometown a lot taking care of family business (health-wise with my grandmother and with our construction company). I *know* my husband hates not seeing his children and wife at times...but, he tolerates it because he loves me. Just as I tolerate the idiosyncrasies and job-related stress he goes through....missing dinners for board meetings, planning committees, etc. He tolerates our dishes piled in the sink, clothes piling up to be washed...and, pitches in with these things even though I am a stay at home mommy because he knows that I want to put whatever energy I have towards our children. We compromise.

Yeah, marriage sometimes isn't all it's cracked out to be. Sometimes people aren't happy...but, it is not their husband/wife/partner's fault. Happiness is an inside job. Start there.

Sorry for the rant. I just feel like my husband and I (not to mention countless number of our friends) have weathered many storms. And, for the most part, well all of it I guess, it is me that wants to cut and run. Put up that wall...push people away before they can hurt me. And, thankfully for me, I was blessed with a stubborn and persistent and loving husband.

Hang in there (if you still are). It is work....very hard work. Just have to be willing and open and honest...and, throw pride out the window. There is no room for it in marriage.

Off soapbox now :blink:

 
Oh, you can. Just can't let that be a "secret in the back of my mind if the s hits the fan" option so you DON'T cut and run.

Cheating would be my only deal breaker.

 
It might..depends on how deep the cut and the speed used to run you over.

 
Haven't cut and run. We did separate for a month over the summer, but are back together. Can't say things are really better - but I'm dealing better. I'm working on my inner happiness and that has to count for something, right?

Yep great thing about marriage is that you can't cut and run.

I don't know Boo, the ex Mrs. Jewy sure cut her share of lines and then ran to the parking lot to service her dealer. Probably not exactly where you were going with that though! LOL And not nearly as funny as 99's post!

 
Well ...... What I meant was that its harder to split up legally and all. I've shacked up a couple times and when it was time to go I bailed. Now that I'm married ill have to work harder to leave. Hopefully that'll keep me from walking out. "Commitment Issues"

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
