Hi, LL...I guess the doing-your-own-thing doesn't work very well when he just wants to sleep. DOes he like his job? Does he feel pressure as the breadwinner? Why is he so tired so much? Maybe I need to read back on your threads...

Is there anything the two of you can get on board with to change - maybe not so much your relationship, but your sitch in some other way? He sounds so unhappy, and I KNOW you're unhappy. Breaks my heart to hear it. There just has to be a better way! Wish I knew a magic spell for ya. he!!, wish Iknew a magic spell for ME!!!! Doulbe he!!, I'd share it with EVERYONE!!!!!!

CHin up, darlin'. My kids are 3 & 5. I think it's going to get easier soon. We're DEFINITELY not having any more. Everyone tells you it's so hard. Everyone tells you you won't know until you have your own. I wouldn't have NOT had kids, but I sure wish it wasn't so hard! They're good kids, though. That's a blessing. Healthy and intelligent and just good. Thank God.

I'm feelin a little uninspired - depressed & withdrawn. I hope it's not coming through TOO much here...Maybe we both need to tell each other 3 good things about our families and our daily lives?!?

Peace!
Sam

P.S. Thanks for my name! I thought silly alien monkey was standard/long-standing lingo around here. Feels kinda special to know I got something hot-off-the-press! My birthday is Halloween, and I always liked Samantha on Bewitched...named my daughter after her! (and my Sister, who's middle name is a family sirname that sounds kind of like Samantha). It's kind of special for me to be Sam for those reasons, too!
