A strange phenomenon
Why is it that the men I talk to advise that I should be going to marriage counseling and standing by my man, but the women I speak to tell me that they can see why I want out?
I had a good chat with the GP this morning. He doesn't want to medicate me! Doesn't feel it is warranted! He said that I need to follow my 4 F's- Fitness, food, fun and faith (which we decided would be spirituality!). He said that fun is perhaps the most important. He is very pleased with my weight loss. He thinks that W needs a job which would give him some purpose in life. I told him that I felt I had had enough and he suggested thinking where things will be in 3 months. I said that I doubt W would have changed at all, but he said that I will have. So yes. In 3 months my thesis will be finished. That will give me more options. He said that my main problem is that I had been W's carer for the last couple of years and not really been his wife, yet seen him as my husband, not someone who needs to be cared for. He said that I have a very caring nature and he would hate for me to lose that.
W has not put his wedding ring back on but he slept in our bed last night. He then got me to make his lunch this morning and then didn't take it with him. O well.
The other thing that GP said was that I need to go out with the girls more often! We are going out to Sizzler tonight as T is moving back to Brisbane. I felt awful having to text C this morning saying that I had no money whatsoever and asking for her to pay for my dinner and let me pay her back next week. She is fine with the situation, but I feel pretty bad about it.
Mum arrives tomorrow. For once I am looking forward to her visit. I doubt W is as it will be another person to tell him to grow up and pull himself together. It could be very interesting!
