Oh, I know!!! Oh, to be a size 10, again!!! That is really pretty tiny!

I will admit, It is my husband who unfortunately makes me feel the MOST unheard and unanswered. I suppose he figures there's nothing else I can tell him that will enlighten him---or he is just plain tired of the sound of my voice after 12 years of marriage (although I've always been told that I have a pretty NICE voice!). Anyway, he bears much of the blame for so much of the way I still feel---the non-improving parts of my life----because he is a fairly unaffectionate, workaholic type.

If that situation were to change, by some miracle, I do think the majority of my problems with depression and anxiety would probably be greatly taken care of.

But I am not getting my hopes up. His behaviour lately points to things getting worse, in fact.

And please, do not suggest marriage counselling to me. I've tried discussing it with him, and he essentially flees the premises.

So, it's never going to happen.
