Waiting to tell spouse is awkward
| Tue, 02-13-2007 - 10:58pm |
I am waiting to tell my husband I want out until this summer for practical reasons (finances, timing it best for the kids etc.) and it's really awkward. I am trying not to go out of my way to be nice but also trying to be decent since its six months away. I've avoided saying I Love You to him but it's really awkward. Tomorrow is V-Day but he's not the romantic type so I dont think it will be too too weird. I wish I could break it off now but I know that's not a good idea. Feels odd living a lie but I know others have done this so I tell myself it's okay. I want to have al my ducks in a row. Anyone else awkwardly waiting??

I promise to later tonight-
hang in there!

Ditto- everything you said- when I realized- my awakening- and told DH- I guess he was shocked into reality.
He's like "oh, you were serious? I thought everything was great- what can I do to fix it? I'll do anything"
Ok, that was then, this is now, I'm kinda done- was I joking about wanting attention and fun? If so - that was a very long joke- ya know?
It was ok to ignore me for the longest- but now why do I feel bad for hurting his feeings?
I am trying to cushion this as much as possible for him, I don't want to feel responsible for him falling apart- surely he'll realize he can survive without me, and if I feel this way- he deserves someone to treat him better than this.
I am financially stuck, and hope to fix that very soon- then I can figure out realistically what I need to do for me- because I am allowed to have happiness.
and I know I deserve that
