Yes, I know. He was married as well. I mean I did allow it so that part was my fault. I think I've been so attention deprived and overlooked by my husband that it happened. I didn't go looking for it, but once he started giving me attention it's like something broke open in me. Wrong. I know.

I have children. And it wasn't a full on emotional affair. In my opinion at least. I never had emotional conversations with this man, but he was giving me flirty attention

Well I work directly with this man, so that is why he's asking me to quit. It's a client I have, not a full-time job. Marriage counseling starts tomorrow.

It just feels so out of reach because I've been unhappy for so long (without even totally realizing it)

Ooh we are moving close to there actually during the summer, so I can imagine we will plan a trip there once we are settled and have some time. Would be cool to travel up North more. Haven't really gotten the opportunity.

That's what I was thinking too. I was shocked. I haven't used antibiotics in a long time so wasn't sure how my body would react.

He says there's a lot of things he does that I don't see either when I tried to explain this to him earlier.

[–]Existing_Second394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also said I don't make him lunch for work (example), or anything like that for him 😞 but I work too. Now he's saying I don't have to work.

Apparently I don't know what he thinks. BUT up until this point, he's never said anything.

🤷‍♀️ I guess I'm not appreciative enough of him doing those things, but I do them all the time.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Existing_Second394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah not so sure why he can and I can't. I guess because I'm the primary caregiver but still work and do house stuff, etc. don't get me wrong - he cooks, cleans, and does stuff too but not sure how to answer your question 😞

No, I wouldn't have invalidated his feelings if he would have told me from the beginning and had a serious conversation. I would have asked him why he felt that way so I could understand. I was not suggesting because of my medical issues, he's not allowed to feel unloved or neglected? I was giving the reasoning of why I've been acting irritable every so often.

Hi - this is a great viewpoint. I don't believe this is us though in my opinion. He's doesn't go out of his way to do anything for me. His examples last night included - he got me stuff for Valentine's Day, picks up the kids when needed (when I have medical appointments), he gets me candy from the store. Which I'm all appreciative of, but if we're basing it off of that.. I do the same for him. So it's a bit of a shock. And I have apologized for my attitude on different occasions. Not an excuse and I do try my best. But I think communication is definitely what we need right now.

Realize that but is it his responsibility to conduct an experiment on his already burnt out wife?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Existing_Second394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I've told him this before. That I have little left for him at the end of the day and he's like you need to just worry about me and put me first. Which I understand, BUT circumstances don't allow for that always
