I can't say that I'm liking your husband much right now. BUT, I think that bloody knww, and being out of work is really getting him down, and you are a handy target. I'm sure the financial stress is taking its toll on both of you as well. No advice to offer, you sound really good for sounding really frustrated! You seem to be holding up pretty well. Just don't push. (I'd hang on to the scapbook for a while, but you'll know if the time is right or not). I think he's hurting, feeling inadequate (he can't even provide for himself) and really stressed. Not a good combo.
Sorry for the wet blanket on the party.....
Where were we?
I remember, pent up, frustrated, and lick her. NO NO NO! (On the other hand....)
It was a cold, dark & stormy night. The power went out and their passion finally got the better of them. At that moment they knew they had to be together. They knew it was wrong. But it felt so RIGHT! Then, the power came back on.......
Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said "God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!" Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never!"
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentle man approached the table. He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer." "Really?" my son asked "Cross my heart." Then in theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kid's ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes and my soul is good already."
God Bless.
