'85: "We Are The (Couch) World..."

good morning everyone .I hope your days are better then your nights were

Dealing with emotional fallout after T session. It was a good session, and my T is a good guy, but I'm feeling like crap now.

I'm sorry I hate when that happens.

The lack of sleep does eventually end. My first slept through the night at 7 months. This one is only 3.5 months so a bit more to go. She actually only woke to eat once last night. Lucky me!

Glad to hear it!

LOL

thanks. A few hours to go until mine.

Me too. My mom probably would have called it witchcraft

Good morning, I managed to get some sleep last night, though it was very broken up. The sun is shinning and that makes me feel a bit better than I was yesterday.

He is doing very well as far as we all can tell. I think he sees T once a month as well as pdoc and he is still taking meds. He is actually in the process of interviewing for new job position. I think he gets it, he needs to be on his meds. He hates being in therapy, but it is something his mom is really pushing for him to stay in as she wants somebody who is able to track his moods.. none of really see a lot of him.

Yeah... I don't know how I got through it with my son - the stbx was a right asshole about it too... I think I've blocked most of it from memory. Probably just as well - I remember having the baby snatched out of my arms and being hit with the baby tub... Argh! Why did I stay as long as I did?!

Right... That got OT...

here is the Valentine's Day I picture Stopdog giving to friends:

Mkac - lololol

My H served tables for so many years that we never did celebrate Valentine's Day. Plus I'm not one for pink, hearts, or mushy. Or crowds.

So we don't do anything.

Why is it anyone else's business though? Blah.

Ah, I forgot to check your location. Yes. It's a big deal here. Shortly after Christmas, the Valentines items come out. There are commercials, there is candy, there are toys and dates and... the restaurants are crowded to the gills :P Flowers and hearts and decor...

Yup.

My husband serving tables meant he pretty much always worked Valentine's Day because it was one of the busiest days of the year.

im eating the most amazing peanut butter and fluff sandwich ever

I have a sticky note pinned to my wall that my husband left stuck to my computer one day. It just says 'I love you' a few times with a bunch of hearts. I left him a note the other day because I knew he had a touch case in court earlier that day. Just told him I adore him and admire him.

I am sort of a "I told you I loved you a few years ago, if it changes, I will let you know" kind of person. Frankly I wonder what is going on if my partner keeps telling me she loves me. I already assumed she did or she wouldn't be here.

I'll remove my valentines day related posts, and it would be really, really nice if those of you who have replied specifically to me would remove your posts, too. It is not a discussion I am comfortable with - and I know I brought it on myself, but it would be super kind of you to help me. I'm not asking for any kind of censorship, just that the replies to me be removed since they refer to posts I am ashamed of writing.

And I will do the mature thing and stay away from any discussion that has to do with things I know nothing about.

Mast, I thought I was pretty clear that this is just a matter of everyone having different things that work for each individual. No one said anything bad about you or your style of having relationships. I deleted my post anyway though.

We often go out for supper around Vday. Then again, we go out for supper once a month. We don't typically exchange gifts as we have too much "stuff" anyways. If I happen to find pink argyle socks then I might buy those for him. They would look nice with his fuchsia dress shirt and grey suit. That is the only dress shirt I have yet to find matching socks for.

He used to leave me notes/pictures on my bedside table every morning before we had kids. Since then I've got like two notes. Sigh.

deleted .I have enough people I care about here angry at me. just thought I would share a sweet story for a change instead of so much hurt and misery . ill back away guess I cant say anything

You were super clear, mkac. Like I said, I posted things I was ashamed of and things I did not mean. So of course you would respond to the things I posted rather than the things I actually mean.

I usually warn a person we first start dating that I am romance impaired. If someone needs a lot of active romance, I am not the person for that. I don't like it inflicted upon me either - so I am RI both ways.

I had one lover who was in between jobs (it was lined up, just had not started yet) and she kept trying to do romantic gesture things that she would have waiting for me when I got home from work. And I was like - dude - I just need some space to unwind for a little while, not a bath filled with candles and flower petals and and you.
Perhaps not surprisingly, we broke up.

As sickeningly lovey dovey as i know i sound with my t, i did actually say something like this to him in my first years with him. He seemed a little surprised, but he said thank you. It was along the lines of, you dont annoy me as much as other people usually do - i can actually stand to be around you without wanting to strangle you - something like that.

Btw, I ran into my "snowday neighbor" in the apartment lobby yesterday - we chatted for a while and she invited me out for dinner. We had made plans to go out several other times but they always fell thru - she would change days on the fly or i would just plain cancel - so im hoping this falls thru also. I just dont have the energy. It seems like it is staying a surface friendship.

I said a version of it to the therapist - she sucked less than some other therapists I interviewed and her office was close.

Thats a big plus for my t too! but not on saturdays - the #3 doesnt run on saturdays, so it would take me like an hour to get there, instead of 15 minutes. I dont love him that much!!
