I've been crying all day, and decided to let my husband know exactly why - by text! As usual, he's at work (he works alot, and is never here when I need him), where he gets to be distracted by a million things, flirt with all the pretty girls (he's in the restaurant biz, lots of "hotties" at his restaurant), and pretend like nothing is wrong (he's really good at this one!).

I moved 2000 miles away from my friends and family 6 1/2 years ago to marry him, and don't really have anyone close here to talk to. I've maintained friendships with my girlfriends back home, and my mom and I are incredibly close, but they have lives of their own, and even though everyone says "call me anytime", it's something I would never take advantage of. So I just dumped my garbage on the guy who created it! I know it's not right to lash out like that, especially when he's at work, but a part of me wants to remind him every day what he's put me through. I know, I know, two wrongs don't make a right...it's just been a really hard day.

Maybe a trip home to visit everyone would cheer you up?

Wounded...I do know from exp., that men don't like to be confronted at work with personal problems from the wife, partner. I recall the indignant response, "How DARE you bother me while i'm working!" etc., etc.
I agree with Doh that a trip to family and friends would be healing for you.

Yes seeker, I agree, most men consider their work as a sort of a "sanctuary". My husband is in the restaurant biz however, and anytime I have ever "bothered" him with personal stuff has been after the restaurant has closed, and he is alone in the office. The few times that I have "let it fly" during business hours, it was because something needed to be resolved ASAP. He works 10-12 hour days, usually between 10am and 10pm, so it doesn't leave alot of time for us to resolve our "stuff" without kid interuption!

I am 36 weeks pregnant, and am having a c-section/hysterectomy when she's born. There is no "getting away" for at least another eight weeks!

Thank you again to all who have given me support and verbal hugs! Nasty text, not so mature, but I feel a bit better!
