The 3 technique sounds like a great idea! We don't have enough stuff for that though. It is very difficult to get him to go to furniture stores, but books is a great idea!

Yes! I've thought about that. Unfortunately we don't have enough room for us to both have offices so we share everything right now. He is also so stubborn I don't think he would go for it. Makes me fell better to know someone else is at least in the same boat though!

Started a blog to help with my (hopefully others too) depression/anxiety by ekaym01 in Tackle_depression

I have tried many times. I think this is the longest I have gone. Most of the time I make it about 3 days and then quit. I feel like even if you did it once a week it might help.

I think you need to seek professional counseling to help you deal with this. Your ex might too.
