spa day blah day

Apparently Im being wisked away to a hotel spa night for our anniversary tommorow.My husband has tried to keep it a secret....basically told me to pack an overnight bag,pack a swim suit and something dressy.
Im appreciative,and I know hes tried hard to give me something special .......but Im just not excited....normally I would be thrilled.Seems the last few months I cant muster enthusiasm for anything.
I feel so selfish being depressed.Like Im being ungrateful for the life before me.
This is the stuff that makes me "Tired".

Act "as if" you are excited and maybe it will kick in. Hope so... but understand. Give it a shot.

I agree. If nothing else, you'll probably feel better that you didn't ruin the big surprise and loving efforts of your dh (darling husband).

Thanks for the replies.....I planned to follow your very suggestions,I must say maybe even looking forward to the break.It was a tough week at work and home.

Well my spa day is flying off like a cement balloon.
My husband,my darling,is still golfing in a tournament.....we are late have a 3 hr drive,and when I called his cell, he said he would be another 45min and needed a ride.
I know he's expecting me to pack for him,line up the care for our son,meals planned etc...So much for partnership....I could just cry.16 years of wedded bliss.....Im so angry and so sad.

Yes I know partnership......you do the work and WE take the credit.

I'm sorry it landed on you...I was completely unaware when I was married that packing and lining up child care was part of the gift...I thought my gift ended with the event itself.

Wish I could have seen that before...stupid, stupid, stupid.

That you see it now in progress.

Depression has a not so funny way of making seemingly exciting things more dreadful than anything. But maybe this is what you need? Maybe some time with your husband, and general time away from a normal atmosphere will help things?

A Western philosopher Rene Descartes once said "I think, therefore i am." If you try and put a more positive spin on your spa night ... maybe something good might just come out of it.

Hang in there

I hope spa day turns out better than you are expecting . . .

When I picked up my hubby he was drunk,really drunk.....but happy.
The first hour he hardly breathed, going on and on about work,how he shmoozed the big wigs and basically how great his career is going.Then he decided air guitar was in order.....a good half hour of that and I was ready to throw myself from the vechicle.
Finally 2hrs into the trip I asked him with tear filled eyes....."just ask me how my day was?"
I got his attention.Its not that I had a terrible day,just nice to be asked.I think he got the point.
Im sorry everyone I must sound so ungrateful and selfish.
I love the man I really do.There has just been too many years of being taken for granted.
Once hubby sobered up and we arrived he had gone all out.
Wine,roses,chocolates etc.....We had a wonderful supper too.All in all it was worth it.......even the air guitar.

It gets really confusing...

Not speaking for every guy - but we do have a tendency to only think about us...
