We’re fighting this war, baby
This isnt right, not at all. I should NEVER EVER have to cry, beg, plead, bitch, moan and groan for my husband to want to come home to me, ECSPECIALLY not with the way he left things. He’s in no hurry to get home to me and make things right with me, hes got better things to do right now.
We have had at least 2 decent conversations and I was starting to feel a bit better about some things. He said to me just a bit ago that hes not in a hurry to get home and fight with me. Why does it even have to be a fight? Why cant he just come home to make things right, we dont have to fight. Nope, doesnt want to.
When he left here he had no problems with leaving me and leaving things like they were. I asked him to talk to me before he left………he decided not to. He was in too big of a hurry to get to New York and deal with what he had to deal with there then to even bother with me. But hes not doing the same on the reverse side. He wants to be there and see people, his dad wants him to go to dinner tonight etc etc and hes not willing to just up and leave them to come tend to the business here. I told him that I understand he doesnt get to see them that often but him not going to dinner with his dad, instead just having a quick visit with his dad is not going to have an effect on his relationship with his dad. Hes not at risk of loosing his dad because he doesnt go to dinner. So why was it ok to up and leave me and not give me what I requested but its not ok to leave them and not give them what they request.
I looked up my options last night in regards to legal seperation and divorce. Texas does not have legal seperation so it looks like it would have to be divorce.
I should not have to feel like I have been thrown out like the trash, like I am a burden for him, like its wrong for me to be hurt and upset right now. I shouldn t have to feel like I am not a priority, like making things right with me is not a priority.
Like I said, I know there are problems with us, problems that can be fixed and I am willing to do everything I can to fix the problems on my end. But I dont deserve this.
He should have handled his business before he left, instead of running when things got to be too much for him to handle. What happened to for better or for worse?
I’m done being pathetic and begging and pleading with him. Im not going to be the only one hurting, Im not going to be the only one fighting and Im tried of feeling like the fool.
Honestly, at this point if he was really that worried about doing everything that needs to be done then he would jump on it. He would hurry and do what he needs to do there so that he can get back here that much faster………..instead of taking his precious time…….planning to get here sometime eventually……..thinking that will be ok……….that I will be ok with that, with waiting for him to finally decide to come home and make things right……….thinking that things will be ok. Because they arent and I dont know that they can be at this point.
If I were you, I would make him come to you, don’t push him … just get on with things until he is ready and realises what he is missing!! Good luck, love and hugs

Found you again in circles – I was where you are right now and the thing is if you are taling AT him and not TO him he’s not going to hear it. Also the bitching tone will make him automatically tune you out so again he’s not going to hear what you say. Talk to him in the tone you want him to talk to you in. And sometimes even though it’s not our (women) fault we have to be the first to say “sorry I was bitching at you but I need tfor you to [insert whatever you need] I apologize for making you feel like I’m going to let into you when you come home I just want to air this out and get it over with. Then if he continues to be the way he is STOP trying to get him to talk. don’t speak unless spoken to and then go on about your business. Do things with your daughter find places to be so that you aren’t home when he gets there or come home after he goes to bed but stop living your life around him and start living your life for YOU. he’ll either come around and want to be a part of it or you can cut your losses and get the divorce.

I dont know you or your whole story about your marriage, ive read some entries in the past and what women need to realize is that men and women are completely different, from how we communicate to how we respond to situations. You cant expect your husband to feel the same as you, you will waste your time. For instance us women need love! That is most important to us, is to feel loved.

Men need respect even over love. Theres this crazy cycle that couples always get into, you feel unloved by something your husband did or does so when we feel unloved we get upset and critize or yell at him, he than feels disrespect and stonewalls, which means doesnt say anything or walks away. We take it he doesnt care, which is not his heart as its not our heart to disrepect. So he doesnt show

love to you, becuase he feels disrepected…and the crazy cycle goes on and on. Till the more mature one is willingly to say Im sorry…For me it was hard because i was like why should i be the one to give in first his actions are so unloving, but i was tired of pushing him away becuase in the end I wasnt getting what i oh so needed…love. He needed respect in order to give me love and i needed

love to give him respect…but just learning to understand him and being unselfish…where its not all about me. He started to open up more to me and showing me more love..and i choose to respect him even when he was being unloving, and now our marriage has been amazing. We have been reading this book together called love and respect…its changed everything.

*huge hugs* Uggh I’m sorry. This must be so confusing to you. He needs to understand and set his priorities. He needs to tell you exactly what he wants. Just up and leaving wasn’t good and now he’s so far away. Men are just messed up sometimes. I hope he’s called you and things are better. This really doesn’t seem like him.
