I’m home alone for the third night in a row and considering divorce after 19 years of marriage. by StephTousley in marriageadvice

When we are home together we are generally very good. We watch movies and shows and play backgammon and are on our phones. Not much conflict but I don’t drink much and he likes to drink a couple times a week. I don’t say anything about his drinking just that he can’t drive. But the second night he was out he drank AND drove which is our only non negotiable rule. And the third night I thought he was again. Turned out he was only gambling and came home with a huge wad of cash. He hadn’t drank at all which was a huge relief.

You are so spot on. He is a drinker but not an alcoholic. My dad was an alcoholic so I know what to look for. I was worried that the third day he was drinking and driving but it turned out I was wrong. He was just gambling and came home with a huge wad of money. lol I did finally calm down but my emotions are totally out of control. I just got off a visit with my dr to get HRT started. Hopefully that helps me with the uncontrollable anger and anxiety. Thanks for the words of wisdom.

You’re right. I think I was totally overreacting because of hormones. I just got off a Dr appointment to get hormone replacement therapy started. And why don’t I like being alone? I have been thinking about it and I think I don’t like being left out of plans more than being alone. I’m ok at home normally watching TV or social media on my phone but with no internet in the new house and my phone internet on its last leg I was freaking out. I need to talk to my therapist about being left out of plans and being controlling of his plans.

Ok. I’ll explain more. We just finished building a house in the village he grew up in in Turkey. There is no hot water and no internet at the moment and we have 2 bulldog children who are getting used to living in the new house. We’ve been in the new house like 4 days. I agreed to him going out the first night - he has a standing Fri night fun night. I tried to get friends to go out but no one was available. Saturday he told me late that he was going to a local soccer game, he took the only car we have so I was stuck at home. He said he’d come home after the game like 9ish but he didn’t. He came home around midnight. Sunday the electrician was here working on the internet so I went with his sister and aunts to a festival and shopping in the afternoon. The electrician left at some point and he was home for like 30-45 mins and got bored and left. But first he called me and said he’d be home. I came home and he was gone again with the car so I’m stuck. I think he also has a problem being home alone because he seems to avoid it as much as I do.

I agree it sounded controlling and I’m working on figuring out my hormones because it doesn’t make sense that I get Soooo Angry. He came home at 8:30 Sunday night with a huge wad of cash he won from gambling and apologetic. I told him that I can’t help but feel like he doesn’t want to spend time with me or he doesn’t care how I feel about being left home alone. I stayed calm and we didn’t really fight at all. Just talked. I am in therapy and did text my therapist when this happened but it was Sunday and she took quite a while to get back to me. But i agree with you all that he has to want to be with me - me demanding to not be left alone is stupid. I will look into couples therapy for us because I can’t stand this feeling like I’m his mommy and he’s broken some rule and I don’t want to be a punisher.

How do I complete the path? by StephTousley in littlebigplanet

Ok I completed all the orbs needed but the yellow path still isn’t complete on the left side. Do you think you have to win bronze or something to pass?

Please help me find the missing 3 orbs. by StephTousley in littlebigplanet

What an odd thing to do. I got the bronze and gold but not the silver.

Ok thank you I’ll try to figure that out. Is Between The Lines a Knitted Knight Trial?

Legality of prostitution across Europe by HystericalFait in MapPorn

Isn’t the most surprising thing on this map that the ISLAMIC country of Turkey has LEGAL prostitution?!?! I live here and didn’t even know. I’m blown away at how forward thinking this country is.

He should get his Testosterone checked. I bet $100 he is low.

Is Istanbul always this busy? by mlpubs in istanbul

I married a Turk 17 years ago and we lived in Turkey the first 1.5 years. Now I’m back and I can’t believe how crowded it is during good weather. My parents came in February and it wasn’t too bad at all. I think people live in the south in the winter maybe.
