I went through all the same feelings when he didn't call a few times and finally came to realize (and I told him) I couldn't live with constant suspicion and imaginations. I told him, also, that if he finds someone that's worth leaving our 37 year marriage (today's our anniversary), five kids and spouses, and grandchildren, then do it fast and leave me alone. And if he ever gives me reason to doubt his fidelity, just stay in the hotel room.<br />I know that seems harsh, but at my age 56, I don't have time to mess around with stupidity, and I have a bucket list I plan to work on anyway.<br />Your fear is very common, but I've decided not to live in fear. I just go on and try to make him glad he's still with me.<br />Have a wonderful weekend, my CA friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-47348378900148747702012-08-08T18:40:55.781-07:002012-08-08T18:40:55.781-07:00I think the government is trying to regulate our e...I think the government is trying to regulate our every move. You can't legislate bad behavior....and anyhow, if someone wants to keep drinking sugary drinks they will just buy another one! <br /><br />I loved the Olympics and especially the swimming and gymnastics although there were some heart stopping moments!<br /><br />I was just having a talk with my son about marriage and how hard it is and how important trust is to both parties. He and his wife of less than two years are having difficulties...duh!? I told him that marriage is a full time job and he better start trying to work harder. Difference in his generation and mine? We would have never told our parents our problems! I didn't tell mine I was having marital problems until I was ready to walk out the door! Sigh! <br /><br />I do think as women we tend to be inclined to jump to the worst conclusions...:) You could ask my husband about that!!!nancygraycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05288996419936475583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-29329331119406539222012-08-08T16:31:53.191-07:002012-08-08T16:31:53.191-07:00Very similar for #7 ;)

I won't go into the long details but, over the years, the husband has exhibited some very suspicious behavior that involves drinking and disappearing for the night or up to 3 days or more. I used to get so upset by it all but not willing to give up being able to stay home with my girls. Unfortunately, it has now led to a relationship that is damaged, most likely, beyond repair. Once the trust has been violated, it's really tough to even consider getting it back.Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060983954463697344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-31746194661665917782012-08-08T12:29:44.137-07:002012-08-08T12:29:44.137-07:00The soda law irritates me.

Maybe the bad choices people make are part of natural selection... <br /><br />I'm fortunate in my husband having a very public job and an obsessive hobby. I check the paper's website before I start dinner to see if he'll be working late. Then if it's sunny after work, he's likely stopped to photograph trains and he's happy as a little kid to show the photos when he gets home. <br /><br />But I do deal with other things at home. I don't like to nag, but I know when he promises to do something in the house, it's probably going to get done in 2 months. In that time I get stressed about his feelings for me because what I want doesn't seem important.<br /><br />He really is just absent-minded because when I start trying to do it myself ha freaks and asks me why I didn't ask him to do it.<br /><br />{{{hugs, Debby!}}}Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376476093305279684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-82245806874243424552012-08-08T06:10:48.914-07:002012-08-08T06:10:48.914-07:00I think the soda law is absurd...100% agree with K...I think the soda law is absurd...100% agree with Keetha on that issue!<br />I understand your fears on the infidelity issue too. My first husband cheated and at first we tried to reconcile, but soon that ended and he is now married to the woman he cheated with. Anyway, I can only imagine how paranoid I'd have been all the time if we had stayed together. Especially since your husband travels (mine did too, he was a truck driver and that's where he met the woman he cheated with). I hope your husband does everything he can to help you and be sure NOT to trigger your fear (and it sounds like he does).<br />And thank you for sharing that, I know it's hard.Cyndy Bushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617354883122757511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-61133979266404483282012-08-08T06:10:03.407-07:002012-08-08T06:10:03.407-07:00Unless someone walks in your shoes, with your life...Unless someone walks in your shoes, with your life, they need to keep their feeling to themselves.

RIDICULOUS.<br /><br />Are there going to be soda police?<br /><br />As if our government isn't already too involved in poking their nose into our business.<br /><br />What is going to stop a person from buying ONE soda at one food establishment, then going to another and buying another?<br /><br />Or - - - are they going to remove the self-sever machines? I always buy a small drink and refill my cup if I'm still thirsty.<br /><br />I would think the government should have some REAL issues to deal with - - - like protecting our shores - - - and leave things like what kinds and how large of drinks we drink alone.<br /><br />Will they be making laws next about how many OUNCES of each food item are allowed to be sold????????<br /><br />Simply ridiculous.<br /><br />I for one do NOT NEED the government to try to THINK for me. God gave me a brain which I fully intend to continue using.<br /><br />Now, I wonder how I REALLY feel about this.
