i just hav no idea how to work through the whole kid problem- at the moment it just doesnt feel important to me anymore! all this has just freaked me out so much that ive realised i love him sooo much i dont even care if i dont hav kids?- this is weird coming from me coz initially i said if he doesnt want kids - ill hav to leave coz its so important to me-- i think maybe this was just a threat though in hindsight! - i wish i wasnt so full on in my original reactions- i think its really just scared him away more

my goals this week are:
-go to work (big effort- coz i feel like curling into a ball and sooking)
-look into going back to painting classes once per week
-go and hav fun somewhere and meet up with some people who love me
-not harass him (also a big effort!)
- do some of the things i love that i havent done in ages (listen to music real loud- not do the dishes- cook something cool)

i dont really hav any other goals

i feel really yuk today- this whole patience, giving him space idea etc is all very good in theory - but it doesnt feel very empowering really?
I totally understand his needs now from reading this great site- and i realise maybe i wasnt thinking of his needs- but really- isnt it a two waystreet? hes really not even taking into account what my needs are??
which makes me think hes either stupid or not a kind person- i married a man absolutely devoted to me who always had huge respect for me-- i dont know what happened to him? - i think hes still in there- but how long do i go on waiting for him to come back!

sorry- im a bit negative today - but i think putting all this out through this message board is a lot better than attacking him with it all!

Theres been some great progress really-
- he kissed my on the cheek last night when he thought i was asleep
- he rang me twice today and talked for about half hour ( nothing about R though)
- he told me he will still go away with me on my holidays next week 0 even though he is not sure about it because its weird considering all thats happened.

Another thing i feel though is Im constantly trying to be this person and overanalysing how i am behaving- im almost
afraid to do leisure activities out of fear that i will be boring!

ugggh - im all over the place- isnt love a crazy thing!

thnakyou so much for your words of wisdom- it really helps me find clarity in all this confusion!
