Pam,

Great question.

The answer is...to begin with yes...it was stuff that needed to be addressed.

But more and more lately, it's just been me whining about the past. Most unfair.

I can tell that it's affecting our relationship too.

I've been feeling more depressed because I've been focusing on the negatives of the past.

And he's been feeling attacked and criticized by me.

And he's been working double shifts at work.

Now it could be just a coincidence that he's having to work so much lately.

But I wonder if I'm making work more attractive than home.



Not my goal at all!

And I tend to run on auto-pilot..so it's important for me to cultivate good habits rather than bad ones!

The good news is that I've already taken steps to get back on track!

This weekend, his brother is flying in for spring break. So his Mom invited us down to their town to spend the weekend.

I told Husband that I didn't feel up to it.

(Sheesh...go ahead and smack me!)

Well, this morning...after my initial post..I realized what I was doing wrong. And I called him up and asked him if it was too late for me to change my mind about coming with him to go visit.

He sounded happy!

So, I'll have 4 hours driving time in which to be happy, perky, loving, and attentive.

Go me!

Thanks for your thought-provoking question Pam!

Hugs!
