Journal Entry for May 22, 2007 Mood
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
I am sooo confused One minute he is putting the kids to bed the next he is asllepp with them . So I wake him up so we can spend some time together and he goes straight into our bed to go to sleep. Meanwhile kid 1 is still waiting to be tucked in by daddy. He has only been home a few hours!!! I said things were going to change and here Iam running around after him and the kids. Is he not willing to make an effort he was so sincere on the phone and we have been together 13 years so I know when he is sincere, Is it the guilt?? Does he just not want to face me. he was so complimentary when I picked hi up from the airport and now he has a wall up. i think he had a few drinks on the plane he flies the same flight every fortnite and the airhostesses give them wine for free on their way home. you think he would abstain so we could have clear heads Instead he just passes out!! I dont know what to do!

    Hate to use a cliche but Rome wasn't built in a day, unfortunately. I know that for my husband he went inward for a long time. It hurt him to look at me. He felt so bad about what he had done that he felt he didn't deserve anything nice from me and the kids. He did exactly what your husband is doing - just going to bed without a word or anything. For a while I thought "what am I - chopped liver????" It may be that your husband is hating himself at the moment. Eventually we talked it around and started working things through but it takes time, patience and motivation on both sides to make things work. You both have to make a commitment to making the relationship work. You also have to heal as individuals before you can heal together. Remember everybody has their own ways of dealing with these things. I know that I wanted my husband to be the best father and the best husband 5 minutes after I found out - after all he'd done his bit to stuff up my life and now it was time for him to "unstuff" it - like RIGHT NOW. Eventually he came round. I am always honest and upfront with him and will continue to be. As he sees me heal, he heals and then I feel better and then so does he. Still early days yet but the signs are pointing up for us - it will for you too. Hang in there and know that people like me are with you all the way.
