Irish,

Lets you and me be honest here. Weekends are a biotch. A complete waste of breath and time and space. UNTIL, you decide to get out and do something on those weekends. I started with church on Sunday, then the local Homecoming Football Game with friends. Had a blast. Now a regular Friday night thing. Moved onto rental movie and homemade dinner with friends on Saturday night.

Sometimes I go to bed at night on a weekend and think,"Well, I wonder what H did this weekend?" Then roll over and go to sleep because it really doesn't matter. I had a good weekend. His is up to him.

These are all suggestions that worked for me. You have to find your own entertainments. I know you have friends. I know you have things you enjoy doing. Maybe try some new ones you never did before and discover you do like them. Start living your life for yourself and stop looking over your shoulder to see if he is watching. LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOU. You are not to blame here.
You have all sorts of strength inside that you seem afraid to let out.

Please don't feel I'm whipping you with a wet noodle. I don't mean to be. I've just re discovered how to enjoy my life and I want to share it with you. YOU CAN. YOU ARE STRONG.

Have a good day, Irish, I'll catch you on the flip side.
