Feeling fragile today ...
| Tue, 05-04-2004 - 10:38am |
Today I feel so sad ... I got news this weekend that my youngest brother's wife has left him. She doesn't love him anymore and wants to move on with her life - they have 17 month old twin girls that they went the distance on fertility treatments to have - so when did she stop loving him? This morning, I got a phone call from one of my girlfriends who is living overseas. Her husband walked out on her - same reason - doesn't love her anymore. She is living in a foreign country, has two young children and is recovering from breast cancer. What a sh$t!
What is going on with this "I don't love you anymore" stuff. Don't people understand that marriage is not easy and has its ups and downs but most of all requires work. Especially when you have young children! I just feel sad ....
Maybe we should all take a moment today to reflect on how to make our own marriages stronger. I certainly will.

Thank you for this post, "Maybe we should all take a moment today to reflect on how to make our own marriages stronger. I certainly will. "
I need something to help kick me in the butt.
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother & sister in law, and about your friend overseas. I certainly understand after watching my mother tell my dad the same thing a few years ago. My heart goes out to you...

Thank you all for your thoughts.
I've been thinking alot today - I realize the reason this sad news hit me so hard is that my husband and I are just coming through a rocky portion of our 7 year marriage. We had three kids in three years because I was 40 and we needed to do it fast. We never understood what that would do to our lives - let alone US! We have a beautiful family, we wouldn't change a thing but we have alot of work to do to regain that part of our marriage that has suffered during the "baby" years.
I love him dearly ... he's a keeper so I plan on it.
