You have my sympathy for how you're feeling, I know from bitter experience how you can feel more alone when you're with someone than if there was no one there at all. Hecate and I send our love to you and tell you that keeping tension right on cables socks on DPN's is no bed of roses either!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673935371641209650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11438332.post-32443901916116169132007-10-08T19:40:00.000-07:002007-10-08T19:40:00.000-07:00(so much sympathy that I accidentally posted twice...(so much sympathy that I accidentally posted twice)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11438332.post-33015097788431827002007-10-08T19:37:00.001-07:002007-10-08T19:37:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11438332.post-72061509415135760742007-10-08T19:37:00.000-07:002007-10-08T19:37:00.000-07:00Argh!

People we love have the power to hurt us deeply and sometimes they feel the need to flex that power to convince themselves they are loved. Doesn't make anything they say true. It only means they know your deepest fears. This is only one scenario another is they are bad news. Only you can decide. Don't worry about what he is saying but why.

I'm not advising you to "stay" OR "leave," though. I'm just offering this advice: Trust your own intuition, your instincts. Listen to that voice inside, and don't let it languish, unheard, for too long.

A knowledgeable, neutral third party can be helpful, even if you go on your own because Pooch won't go. It's good that you can say you are "unhappy but not depressed"-- because that's the time to change things; it's much harder the longer you wait. It's not a sign of weakness or failure to ask for help in your marriage; it's a sign that you think your relationship is worth fighting for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11438332.post-11434015043081362882007-10-08T08:02:00.000-07:002007-10-08T08:02:00.000-07:00Believe in yourself.

Just remember people who find the need to hurt you with words, don't feel very good about themselves and that is their way of trying to make you miserable like them. I have been there so many times, and always thought it was my fault, truth is it isn't at all. I have had three relationships in my adult life all of the men decided to tell me what was wrong with me. And how they were the best thing to ever happen to me. Funny how i am always a lot happier when they were gone. Finally figured out I wasn't the one with the problem. As I tell my kids: You are no better or worse than anyone else. When someone finds enjoyment in hurting you, then it is time to stop listening to that person. Always be happy to be you, and be proud that you are who you are. hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11438332.post-60488527362702327382007-10-07T12:17:00.000-07:002007-10-07T12:17:00.000-07:00You're welcome to hang out in my World of Wool any...You're welcome to hang out in my World of Wool any time.<BR/><BR/>PS Nic found me this afternoon.Probably Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327990808605512518noreply@blogger.com
