Quote: I do understand your GAL points, but I think that the GAL idea was never to run away from home doing stuff w/o H all the time but to find the balance. GAL to become the woman you always wanted to be, always knew you were. Not necessarily to make your H miss you, but so that you found yourself.
I agree with Pam on this one. Imo You are "GAL"-ing in that you are doing that something "different" with how you are relating to your H. You mentioned that you used to be gone all of the time and pretty much DID have your own life. Just be careful. You don't want to be at the opposite end of the spectrum .. looking like you don't have a life now .. appearing to be needy/clingy, etc. Like Pam said there is a "balance" to to all of this and you need to find the "balance" that works for you. I'm thinking that your H must not mind that you bring up OW .. from how you've written here how he responds to you. My H would get extremely irritated/upset if I ever brought up the "situation". I learned to stay completely away from any OW topics. Just be careful about bringing it up too often. I've been told (back then) that it feels like I was just using every opportunity that I could to throw it in his face.
On your antidepressants .. my H also complained of antidepressants his doc put him on that pretty much made him feel "nothing". He finally went back (several times) and tried different antidepressant prescriptions. He is doing much better (now) on a different prescription. What you currently have (did you say Prozac?) is definitely not the only antidepressant out there. I'd say maybe you need to make a trip to the doc and ask if he/she would let you try something else?? Also .. of course, I only have experience with myself and my H, but in the reading I have done on antidepressants .. this is something that you go on .. and stay on, until you are ready to gradually wean yourself off of them. I guess I never heard of just being on them a certain part of the month? Did I read that right?
I'm hoping that this weekend was a bit more peaceful for you.
