And now I'm feeling sick. Sick or allergies. Can't really tell for sure.
Sweetie....You have got to get a grip. If you want your marriage most.....you've got to play the game. But not the one you just played.
It would be best if you went to the play and found someone to go with you. But it's MOST important that you start ENJOYING YOURSELF. Whatever it takes. Wallowing in misery is pushing him away. You make great strides. Then you dump it all. That just convinces him he's right.
If you follow MIL advice, it will not likely work.
It's really cool for folks to say 'detach and let go'....but in a sense that is not possible. What IS helpful is to follow your passions. Let it make you happy and glow. Then 'detachment' or whatever they want to call it follows.
And so do the spouses. Because then you're irresistable.
SHOCK AND AWE.
But keep it up.
I want to say this....it does not mean you can't speak your mind and have to be silent.... but not this way. There will be a time when it will work....when the bitterness isn't there.
