Poison

[MJontheMend]

I'm actually in a pretty good mood myself. I just got laid and I am fairly hopeful about our upcoming MC appointment. I mean I'm kind of annoyed about my H's stupid coffee machine note but as I noted in my post, I'm mostly just amused that new appliances is the number one thing he wants in our marriage right now.

The funny thing is I actually think it can be productive in the long run to have somebody else tell you that your situation seems hopeless because then you're forced to ask yourself "Is that true? What else could I do? What haven't I tried?". I mean I think we are all hoping for some sort of long term resolution to our problems (for instance, I, for one, would be quite thrilled if my H would agree to and maintain just about any sort of scheduled sex arrangement so that I could have some sort of reasonable ability to expect and anticipate sex on a regular basis. It wouldn't be my sexual ideal but I am a reasonable person and would do my damndest to make it work on my end.)but it doesn't really do any good and can in fact be counter-productive to paste on a happy face when we know that we haven't really reached a solution. I mean sometimes a bad attitude can produce or compound a bad situation but irrational optimism has its downside too. Believe me. I know.
