Our spouses dont seem to have any feelings for us right now, so what hurt you didnt even register to her. She just thought you would appreciate what her brother and gf did for her.

I know it doesnt make it any easier, I spent the evening with my kids and made bracelets for all our BFF's. Was pretty funny to have my little ones, my 15yr old and my 19yr old brother in law sitting around my table all making a beaded bracelet for our friends.

This was just another first for me this year. I made it through all the others, nothing left. All holidays have been put behind me, all birthdays have been put behind me. I made it through the year. It wasnt easy but i did it.

I know it is hard, and there isnt a quick fix. Hang in there, look for a positive in everyday that goes by. focus on that positive. You can do this, you son needs you to and more important, you need you too.


Thanks tank. Your words are very true. She was just excited that her brother did something nice for her. She was just happy and didn't think about it.

End up having a nice night with my S. Wife came in bright and early before I had to work and brought breakfast! Nice surprise. I made the coffee. She fed our S and put him down for a nap, so that gave us a chance to chat.

Later, I ended up telling her why I was not myself last night picking up our boy. I told her exactly how I felt about seeing the gifts given to her. The daisies that I have been giving to her for the last five years, etc. It old her that after sleeping on it, that I was happy to see her brother taking care of her in a time of need. That is just what she needed. This is why she was probably so excited to show me when I came in. We came to an understanding, and everything is clear. Just trying to keep the communication open and honest. I hope this did not break any rules.
