Son's graduation was great. H went. We went to dinner after. It was fun until h started lecturing son about money. It was supposed to be a celebration. wth. I am In A Mood.

WarmFuzzySocks · May 24, 2019, 01:46 AM

Hugs, Art. Sounds like your h is in a mood, and he’s decided to share it liberally. Heck, he’s making me grumpy and I’m not even in the same state. Hmmph.

I’m glad the graduation went well!

I'm glad he went things like that do actually mean a lot. I did officially graduate from my first university, but I never went to the ceremony, because I knew my dad would ruin it.

Reading your previous posts- the one thing i've just learnt is that love alone is not enough, if there's no respect and kindness there too. I learnt my lesson from two relationships that were my never again. It's NOT okay to be shouted at and i do feel sad reading posts with H's who think it's okay to treat their wives like they do.

ScarletPimpernel · May 24, 2019, 01:56 AM

The day is over. Whew! Thank you for the positive thoughts. I made it through the day. H is still an ***, but what's new?

Aww I can picture fun car rides in SD's solar powered car.

Bring coloring books and jelly babies and you guys are all set.

How is your cat feeling today?

You need cat Music.

As an outsider looking in, you carry a lot of the burden in your relationship instead of it being halved.

It's okay to cry NP- but do you have a private office? Can you get yourself to the bathroom if not?

Can you get some chocolate from the vending machine if you have one?

I only had the reference photo on my phone and couldn't enlarge it. Then she kept telling me things I already know. I could have worked all that out on my own. I am not going for the last 2 classes. I feel like I am not communicating what I want very well. Maybe it was a misunderstanding on exT part but I have feeling it partly wasnt
She kept saying if she could see the pic better she could help me. I just wanted the techniques for painting waves also the lighting was pretty ****

You don't have to go back if you don't want to.

Can you find a new class?

I do. At first it started out pretty equal. I did a little more because of his disabilities, but over time he did less and I did more. I was okay with that when he was working. But he hasn't really worked in the last 4 years and I'm still doing all the work.

ScarletPimpernel · May 24, 2019, 02:32 AM

I thought the day was over, but nope! My dogs are stressed and one had an accident in bed. I forgot to bring the laundry stuff from the house, so H is actually going out to buy some. I get to stay up doing laundry...yay!

The acute care team rang today for an intake interview and I confessed to SH I didn't even tell my exT about that. Well I did but he thought I meant beat myself up metaphorically and I couldn't correct him. My interview gets reviewed by a pdoc on Monday.

I am not going to go to the last 2 classes. I qualify for the university of the third age and the have several social art groups so maybe they will help.

May 24, 2019, 02:49 AM

I have kept myself from thinking about exT and only once touched on the fact I can never see him again but it was so painful I piled a whole heap of **** on it.

Your h owes any success in life he has to you. You bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. My mother used to remind my father of this often and loudly. I am not saying this as a marriage counselor!

May 24, 2019, 03:24 AM

I am hungry but I don't want to wait 20 mins for the little potato things to cook but I really should eat I haven't eaten fro a couple of days now.

May 24, 2019, 03:26 AM

I just burped and the dog shot out from under the bed barking his head off. Apparently when I burp it actually sounds like I am saying burp when my D sneezes it's sounds like she is say achooooo.

Perhaps keeping stuff like protein bars at home would be helpful or ready meals when you're not feeling so well.

Stupid thing is I spent an hour making a vegetarian curry for my D the other day and half an hour making the little protein balls the dog likes.
