Still Tryin's new thread 2

[NikB]

Hi ST - I'm sorry I got so far behind on your sitch! Been kind of obsessing over my own lately.

I'm so glad to hear of those positives, that's wonderful!! Maybe some of that "lusting" can be as a thank you for those acts of service, eh? Have fun!

[S.T. _I Made It!]

Thanks for the post Nikki,

I know you've got a lot on your plate now, don't worry about it. Things are still good. It's really weird. Sometimes it's like it never even happened. Then I still hope in the back of my mind that I'm not being oblivious and that things really ARE good. I know you know what I mean. I really wish things had worked out the first time around. Obviously God needed you to learn some more things... H too for sure. I sometimes think that I needed to learn more myself. Of course during that time it was really really hard, so I'm definitely thankful that that part is over. I just need to make sure I continue to commit to being that person I committed to be.

I'm saddened today though because 2/3 days ago my Kribs had babies..about 40 of them. Well, today it looked like only 8 were left. They were both doing so well watching them that I really don't think they ate them, but it's possible that they got sucked up in the filter. I'm not sure though. They looked like they were just searching for their babies, so it was sad. I hope that some live to make it to adulthood.

Hi ST -

I can relate. I find myself wondering, do you ever get to a point where it's ok to just sit back and relax - or are you always wondering if things feel TOO good, when the next bomb's gonna drop. I mean you thought things were mostly OK before right? Not saying anything's wrong in your sitch, just saying I can see where that feeling comes from.

Sorry about your Krib babies!! I imagine it's rare for all that many to make it to adult hood, but that still had to be really sad. Hope that at least some of them make it, that would be really cool to have fish you raised from babies.

I pray for this too ST - you're a great example of fortitude to those of us here who are still faithfully awaiting our WAS's return

[S.T. _I Made It!]

Nikki. your right, I thought things were totally fine before, but it wasn't until after all that, that I realized it really wasn't fine. I was just being content with being unhappy. And I wasn't unhappy ALL the time, just part of the time and it reflected in me, and how I was. Little things. So, now for the most part, I don't worry at all about the what if, but it does still sit there in the back of my mind though. But my H has said, well, it's different because we're going to talk about our problems before letting it escalate or become something that it shouldn't, unlike before, where we both didn't talk openly about how we were feeling and then let someone else take over instead.

And on the babies, they either died or got eaten while we were out of town getting the puppy. oh well. I should have expected the first "batch" might not survive. but still, I was really really hoping! I'll post some pics of our dog on myspace when I can. He is really cute. hopefully he won't be an ugly boxer when he's older~!

C_M thanks! I really hope my sitch will help others. I've definitely talked to many people about it hoping it would help them in their own R/Ms.

I hope you are doing well!

You're one of the good 'uns




I hope you are doing well!

Yes, in limbo though so not sure what to make of my situation

Oh, yeah - I've been sick AGAIN - too much exercise, etc & not enough sleep/nutrition methinks so I have not done any dancing since last Wednesday night

Sorry I have not replied to your emails but have been VERY busy organising dance things

Keep well (((((ST))))) and please stay in touch on my thread

[JustDontKnow]

Don't worry, you have helped others (like me) with their marriages and thanks for it!

Awe thanks guys! I always pray for all of you in your marriages.

and CM, I guess I was thinking you quit posting for a while...I'm sorry, I'll check it again.

[S.T. _I Made It!]

oh CM, I'm really sorry your sick. nutrition is so important and sleep too. Too much exercise actually creates free radicals, so make sure your eating a good amount of antioxidants. okay, ya, I know, here's where I talk about my juice! but I'm sure you've already read about me talking about it here, so I don't need to again.

hope you get better soon! Get lots of water, and sleep. Lemons are really helpful in fighting a cold. So if you have a cold, drink a lot of lemon water, and don't eat a whole lot. Eating takes up a lot of energy that your body needs to fight the virus.

okay, that's my lecture for the day!
