The more rope you let out, the more they take.

What do you mean by this? Do you mean they take advantage if you don't set proper boundaries?

Don't get me wrong...but why is my H the only MLCer that is ALL about the kids? I don't want him to abandon them by any means. I want them to have a good dad. It just makes me think maybe this is all just about me. He was actually normal tonight. Well, not normal if we were talking 2 years ago...but normal for today's standards. Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing weird...

Our 10 year anniversary is on Friday...how sad. Expectations at zero. I will get him a card. One that I would give to another couple...not one for a husband. I will only give him the card if he gives me something. If not, I don't want to give him anything.

I wasn't sad all day. I felt fine. It was a good day. Then I went on facebook. I saw all these darn happy looking families & couples & remarks that included funny things spouses were doing...and here I am now. SAD again.


Me 36, Him 33
M 11yrs, T 15yrs
S 8, D 7
