So Brian and I have been communicating better, which is saying a lot. We have vastly different communication styles. I come from a family where people are very direct and will say any and everything to your face. My family members are also very open with their feelings. Brian comes from a family where direct [...]
One of the biggest causes of problems in our marriage is that we quit ‘dating’ each other. When we first started dating and even when we were just friends we spent a lot of time going out, hanging out with friends, going to parties, etc. Well, not a lot of time because of the kids, [...]
Guess I spoke too soon. We have decided to stay together, work things out. He loves me, and I love him. We have a family to think about as well. Neither of us wants to break up without really trying for our relationship. Maybe it will all work out? Maybe we’ll be ok?
So we are officially splitting up, filing for divorce. Brian has decided that we can’t work out our problems and that he doesn’t want to try anymore, so that’s it. I think we should at least try more counseling, because we have kids to think about. I think that because they aren’t running around the [...]
I have decided that for my mental health it’s best that Brian and I no longer engage in marital relations. Physical intimacy. for me, means a great deal. Every time I think that we have made up. But to Brian, it is just…a physical act. I don’t understand how he can feel this way, how [...]
I have no idea what to do about my marriage. Neither does my husband. We’ve discussed dissolution/divorce and neither of us wants to do it. Or rather, our opinions change from day to day. I have days when I want NOTHING MORE than to no longer be married to Brian. He has similar days. As [...]
I am beginning to think that Brian and I have irreversibly ruined our marriage. We keep going back and forth over this marriage thing, and at various points we are both ready to throw in the towel. It’s very stressful and aggravating. As much as I love Brian, I am sure there is someone else [...]
Perhaps the most irritating thing/reaction about being married to a white man is the assumption on the part of most people, of whatever color, that white is synonymous with racist. I can understand this on some level, just like I can understand people of any gender thinking that man/male is synonymous with sexist. After all, [...]
Brian has the most incredible body temperature. My blood circulation is all crazy so very often my hands and feet feel very cold. When we are sleeping I love to wrap myself in his heat. I think he has a slightly higher body temperature than most people, because sometimes he’ll be standing next to me [...]
I swear to whatever deities that may exist Brian is getting on my nerves. I feel like I am the only one trying in this marriage sometimes. He’s been acting all pissy because I’ve been so busy with work, telling me I’m always on the computer or going somewhere. Ok, excuse me, but what other [...]
Things have been going a lot better with me and Brian. I think the turning point for me was realizing that we were just mirroring the negativity we were seeing in the other. I remembered how we used to always smile and be excited to see each other. It had gotten to the point where [...]
I haven’t been on the pill since I decided to continue breastfeeding Todd back in ’98, and then only briefly, two months. We have been following a natural birth control method. I don’t worry about getting pregnant too much since biologically speaking I am getting old for that and we are married, 2 factors that [...]
