My husband is driving me absolutely nuts right now. I love him to death, but I have to admit, there are times (times like this, I might add) when I wonder if our marriage will last. Sometimes it just feels like the love and respect are gone from the relationship, even though we still go through the motions of saying 'I love you' and try to go on a date every now and then.
Believe me, I could go on for about a hundred pages of all the stupid shit he does that annoys the hell out of me, and list all the things he doesn't do that I wish he would. But that won't solve anything. It won't even make me feel better. In fact, it would only bring to mind even more circumstances that I hate about our relationship. So I won't waste my time.
What I do know is that I'd rather work through all the messes and hurts of our lives and our marriage, even though it will most likely be painful and difficult, than ever consider a divorce. It's true, marriage is much harder than just being in a committed relationship, but I guess that's what marriage is for: helping two people who belong together remain in a life-long partnership, no matter what.
Great to be in touch, Anna. Nice writing too...I'll be back to read some more!
ReplyDeleteDamn... I have trouble just mentioning the bf's name on my blog. This was pretty raw, thanks for indulging. I don't really know how I feel about marriage, but I know how I feel about you, and if you're half as good at making a marriage work as you are at cracking jokes, you guys are going to be fine. Go give the hubby a knock on the forehead and go for a beer. Or tapas maybe?
ReplyDeleteOne cool thing is that he NEVER reads my blog. :)
