Another approach to her would be to let her know that you need a place to vent safely....and that this forum gives you the opportunity to do so. Not only that, but it also helps keep things in perspective for you...you get input from people on both sides of the fence. As you know, people here won't just agree with you if they don't see things your way...and if we think you need a dose of reality, we'll dole that out too
My H realizes I can't always tell him everything I want to...because he isn't always open to it. He's told me in his own words that he doesn't mind me posting here because he knows I get different perspectives on how to cope/deal/handle...whatever you want to call it, with our situation.
MrsGremlin....truly, we don't judge you. Your H is here trying to work on your M, talking to strangers who would never know you if we passed you on the street. None of us are here trying to hook-up with someone else, we are all here trying to save our M's, improve them, make them better....that's why MrGremlin is here too.
Once again, I invite you to give us your side of the story. What do you have to lose? You just might find there are many people here who will empathize with you too.
