I know someone out there has an answer to this question.
How do you deal with friends and family who tell you to just move on and don't try to save your marriage?
I realize they are doing this because they don't want to see us in pain and they think this is the only way to shield us from that. But, I am finding it harder and harder to talk to people when after telling them I will not give up on my husband, they look at me like I'm nuts. Or I get the look of the "poor soul, she's so lost right now and isn't thinking straight."
I admit that I am really struggling with GAL. It's hard to do when I've been married almost twice as long as I was single. I re-read some threads today and found a book recommended that I'm going to order from Amazon; The Journey from Abandonment to Healing by Susan Anderson.
This was the first time I've been alone in the house. My daughter went away for a few days but is coming home today. I am so thankful she is still living at home with me. I would be a total basket case if I was alone all of the time. Even my dogs look at me like I'm pathetic!
So, I guess I am just going to have to force myself to put one foot in front of the other one, right? When what I really want to do is go back to bed and put the covers over my face.
