It’s 9pm, and I am sitting here watching tv and a scene from Modern Family comes on where Cam and Mitchell are sitting in the couch on New Year’s eve and Lilly blows on a noise maker and wakes them up from a deep sleep and they realize that it’s only 10pm. Well, I feel like that. You see, my husband and I are from different generations, so our needs are different. Like for example, my husband goes to bed around 9pm and gets up close to 5am, where I go to bed anywhere between 11pm and 1am, and get up after 7am. Sometimes I admit, that going to bed around these times can get us powerful rest, other times it’s really aggrevating. It’s like I’m living with my parents sometimes. I love him, but there have been times lately, more often than not that I wonder what happened. We’ve been married for only 8 years, and this is happening. I want more fun..more excitement!!

New Rules
The rules are different now. He’s no longer my best friend, he’s gone to being a acquaintance. His birthday was two days ago, and even though I sent him a text for his birthday, I didn’t call until today. Only to find him distant and in a hurry to get off the phone to order lunch. Almost like he didn’t want to get caught taking to me. Like his jealous wife.He’s now someone else’s man, almost no longer my friend.. He’s married now.. And even though I was the one to let him go, it still hurts to see him this way. A twenty year friendship now seems dry and distant. It’s strange though, I still get chills when I talk to him. If he’s my ex, why is this happening?
Dark Place
I am stuck somewhere between I hate everything and I want someone to love me. Is that wrong? The past few weeks have been an overwhelming feeling of what am I going to do.
I used to be the kind of person that would always get things done. Now that I have a husband , and have for a while, I feel like I have lost myself. Things are different now. He is a wonderful man, but I can feel something is different. It’s like his motivation and my motivation is gone and neither one of us wants to do something about it. Well, correction, I want to do something about it, but I fell like there is something different.. besides money…So I ask..What is girl to do?
What
What do I do with him? The past few weeks it’s like I’ve been living with Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde. He goes from happy with his existence, to the next thirty seconds he is blowing up at the computer and asking me for help but not taking any advice. So, now I just let him beat his own head against the wall sort of speak.
I want to keep on fighting this, whatever this is. He is different, almost numb. He goes back and forth between manic and depressive. Maybe that’s what he has become, manic depressive. So, what do you do when the person you love most is hard to find, like they’re not there anymore. I hate that feeling. The kind of feeling where it’s like there’s always this overwhelming pressure that makes me feel like he’s going to go off and I am going to be the target. Fine, let me be the one on the other end of the emotional freight train. Soon enough he will realize what he is doing to my heart, to my spirit. We shall see how he deals with me being absent one day…Maybe then, he’ll learn about things..
