Relationship Sigh! Any Light At The End Of The Tunnel?

[Sighs]

It all just got too much for me last night. I feel like all I do for him is completely unappreciated. I feel taken for granted and treated like some kind of incompetent servant. I was clearly unhappy last night

We then had a broken night's sleep as one of our dogs was sick. Today he's isolating. Tomorrow is his birthday. I have all these great gifts for him. I feel like my bad mood last night has stressed him out and put him into a funk.

Just don't know how much longer I can do this. When we met he promised to shower me in TLC. Been a looong time since I've seen any of that!

 

[Sighs]

Just spoke to him. Got grunts for answers. This is sooo f*cking exhausting. I asked him whether he was alright. Long pause. Then in a fake cheery voice "perfect".

Ugghh. I hate when he pretends he's fine. And I hate when his dark lashes out at me. I hate that he has PTSD. Just hating life in general right now.

Sounds like you are due for a nice solitary temper tantrum. Go out in the woods and break something or shoot something full of holes. It is also recommend that you swear enough to make a trooper blush. You may or may not need to apply a shot of tequila and a cigarette.

Repeat as needed.

It can be so spooky to see your own thoughts written by someone else!

I love @Sweetpea76's advice. Do something for you, ignore him for a bit - he can probably cope without you for a while.

Just don't know how much longer I can do this.

They say that babies learn to smile around the time the mother is coming to the end of her rope. I do tend to find that whenever I feel like I am reaching breaking point something does happen to restore an element of balance; be it a smile, a cup of tea made without request, or whatever, it is enough to remind me why I love my man.

Fingers crossed your 'smile' comes soon.

:hug:

I can relate to your situation. This past weekend was absolute hell. It seems like the more I try to be helpful and understanding the worse things get. I know to well the unappreciated feeling. I work and provide for everything but it seems like nothing I do is right. I'm trying to fight my desires to text or talk to her by that's a very hard thing to do. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Must be something in the air as we've had the week from hell too! Two massive arguments that nothing I said would deflate.. Threats of suicide... Complete inability to leave the house due to flashbacks... Ugh ... So tired! Luckily I'm
Off work atm but back next week and dreading it! X
