Harder

She came back yesterday. She had a fight with The Other and, unfortunately, they made up… Oh well… At least it’s not all great between them… 
We are both strugling through our hormones. It might sound stupid but it’s the time of the month and we’re both more afraid, we feel more pain, we are more anguished. The good thing is we are able to talk about it and to communicate in a non-violent way. This is a huge relief. I feel more free to express myself and to tell her when I really feel crappy, like this morning, after another sleepless night. She used to get annoyed at me, because I wasn’t appreciating the fact she hadn’t left me. She looks differently at things now, she’s more centered. She’s giving me a chance to prove I’m worth to stay for. That’s different. I just wonder whether she realises I am also giving her a chance to prove she’s worth to stay for. I’m not the one seeing someone else. I made mistakes, but not on my own. Just a thought…
I still expect the worst and don’t dare to hope anything. I can’t afford another blow. I’m only human… Whenever I start hoping I also feel more afraid, more anguished. I don’t think I’ll ever be ready for the worst, but at least I’ll have some preparation.
Today is harder than yesterday, but hormones only play a role a few days, it should get better, I’ll try to keep my head up… I’ll try to let optimism rule…

Going on

These two weeks haven’t been as bad as I expected. Have I cried? Yes! Have I cried every single moment of her abscence? No! Have I missed her? Yes! Constantly? If I’m fully honest, no! And I didn’t look for other company to fill the gap, although I’ve had visitors.

The most positive thing of this trial periode is that my wife is more aware of her feelings towards me and those are not bad. She’s more balanced and she realises she still loves me, she knows now she’ll be losing a lot more than she thought. Will she stay? I don’t know, but I do know that now she does miss me when she’s with him, she’s much more caring towards me, more loving… She calls or sends text messages… She’s genuinly worried about me… These are all things that have been absent for a very long time. She’s returning tonight after 3 days with him and she says she’s looking forward to seeing me… Me too…

I don’t know what the future will bring for us. If we stay together we’ll be much stronger than before and only a major catastrophy will tear us apart. If we divorce we won’t be enemies for the rests of our lives. So whatever happens, today is better than yesterday and I’ll know what happens tomorrow in due time…

Life is not great right now, but it has been much worse… I just hope it will get better…

Trying to go on

We’ve both just had a week off… It has been one of ups-and-downs… But at least we managed to close it in an “up” moment…

My body is starting to complain. I’ve been living in such an anguish for several months that my memory doesn’t seem to be working properly anymore. I can’t remember what I’ve said, how I said it, what she said, how she said it… Every single fight of this week has been based on misunderstandings. In the end, thinking something was really wrong with me, I went to the doctor’s… He really helped… He listened to me and calmed me down. He swore there was physically nothing wrong with me, but that my body is just shuting out some parts in order to cope… He prescribed valerian, a homeopatic product… I must say it really helps and I’m sorry I didn’t use it any sooner… It might have avoided a lot of crappy situations…

And I’ll need it this week… My wife is going to stay with him a few days… As a test… It broke my heart to see her leave… It’s my last hope to win her back… We made a full plan until May and then we’ll evaluate and probably decide what we’ll do…

Someone asked this week whether I saw myself getting old with her. If I’m fully honest, I must say no, at least not the way she’s now or we… I can’t live the rest of my life in constant anguish…

But for now I’ll try to go on as best as I can and hope for the best…

August Rush

I went to watch this movie with a friend, I diserve some fun. Yesterday I watched 10000 BC with my wife, which was great. But when it comes to music, this one beats it.

Enjoy!
