Well, Pud, you did good getting out and going for a walk! And did good on NOT telling H how you feel right now.
I actually have used that phrase "stop pretending like we're in a real marriage", etc. with my H and it was NOT well-received. I do not recommend it! Lol.
My H never came home from work this morning, and is currently at a buddy's house watching football, after I asked him yesterday to spend more time with me and the kids...so yes, I understand, it HURTS! And, it's not fair.
And this whole patience thing STINKS! But, you are doing such a good job...don't backslide now! You've made good progress.
You're just having a "down" day on this ride. Keep doing activities that you like today. I hope you got all dressed up and went out to lunch or something. You deserve it. Get to know YOU again....'cause if you are anything like me, this whole marriage mess may have caused you to forget who you are.
Find happiness in the small stuff today. Like you told me yesterday, DEEP BREATH....
