Why does it seem that I labor through the week and our relationship seems to be okay and then the weekend comes.... time to decompress and she LOOKS for reasons to argue? As much as I love her I'm not sure if I can keep this up. She wanted counseling, I went. She wanted therapy, I went. I want a peaceful weekend and here we go. Sorry all. These boards are my sanctuary sometimes.

Don't be sorry, this is a place where you can speak free of judgment!
I'm sorry that your partner is causing you this distress. Perhaps you two could reach an agreement where you take the weekends off from each other, just relax and don't argue?

I'm sorry to hear that your weekend sounds as bad as mine! I hope it gets better for you. I seriously doubt mine is going to. No need to apologize for venting your feelings! That's what we're here for!

I went to therapy and then stayed with it long after she (the perfect one) bowed out. I'm sure glad I stayed with it and found the healing and strength to DUMP her and move on! Now I am HAPPILY MARRIED!

I used to hate weekends too.... for me it was feeling so lonely even though my now ex-wife and daughter where there

What does she argue with you about?

It seems like whatever she can until she sees im bordering on cracking and then I hear how she's always there for me and maybe I need more help. Last weekend was my new job. After 4 months I finally found another job. A traveling superintendent. Im scared as hell being on the road 500 miles from what there is that I can still find some comfort in. I get to hear the man up... you'll be fine... you can do this. I'm glad she feels life is ok and everything is good because in my mind everything's far from good. In my mind I go and struggle through it or lose everything. And that would be me losing everything not her. She has family who will most likely be in my house next week trying to convince her to go home with them. They've already told her to have me committed and go with them just 2 weeks ago, so.... Im so just ready to call my girls... apologize and give up.

I know that living around my H was driving me up the wall, crazy & my anger made me see red by the time I left him....it took several years for me to calm down.....after moving 2100 miles away & only allowing written communication.

I'm guessing but if you got a divorce & left her & ended up on your own, you would probably find yourself a new, much happier & better person as I was able to do....it's amazing how some people can effect your life in such a negative way even though they were supposedly in love......

Mismatches happen & it's better to get out than to continue to be miserable
