It's my H & I's 7th wedding anniversary today. Happy Anniversary to us...
It's been a completely different dynamic since he came home after being gone for a week on Fri. Can't say it's good, exactly, but not horrible either. The one thing that's happened to me since looking for help on this board is that all my anger has been knocked out of my sails. I don't want sex (well, maybe b/c I started my period the moment I picked him up at the airport) - what I want is intimacy which I haven't really gotten but maybe haven't been altogether open to it either. I've been fairly avoidant and a bit weepy. As a crab (astrologically speaking), I have taken off my shell and am just really allowing myself to feel, and what I feel is sadness. I am trying to work thru it. It's scary when 2 hours of hard core kick boxing and weight lifting and sauna-ing don't help...
Anyway - today is not an altogether bad day (sat was one of those)... H got me flowers (star gazers which I love) and a card (which was most kind and loving) and jelly bellys (which I don't care for and I've been doling out to the kids as various rewards). I gave him a card, and am working on putting the calligraphy art of our vows and guestbook into round frames.
Happy labor day to everyone.
