Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Wrapping up at work and have really scheduled myself a full weekend. May have overscheduled really. I'm actually going to break away and go shopping. I have some serious financial issues, but I'm going out the next two nights, including to a hockey game where I know some of W's co-workers may see me, so I want to look my best.

I've spent almost nothing on myself for the past five years because I always was saving so W could spend on clothes. It was important to her and what did I care, I'm married. Eventually, she'd pick stuff up for me.

Of course, maybe that was one small tiny part of the problem.

We'll see how I do buying for myself. I'm going to try to stick to the colors she likes on me.

Thanks everyone for sticking with me this week.

My goals: Be a great listener. Learn to underreact. Don't give advice unless asked. And be loving and confident when I am around W on Sunday.
