For Everyone With Hubby Problems
Posted: 02-13-07 12:30pm

Ok i'm not really up to date...
Have you all tried sitting down and working things through?

I mean really tried (or do you even want to try).

Is it a case of you no longer like hubby so any excuse to get rid of him will do, or do you guys want to try and save your relationships?

Have any one asked hubby how he feels in the current situation?
Have y'all sat down and given each other a list of the top three things that annoy you and why and how to make them better?

I dunno, as I say i'm not up to date at all, I just know there's a handfull with hubby issues.
And for the most part I see everyone encouraging people to leave.
I don't get that. For me personally I think the best thing to do is try to open channels of commincation and find out what went wrong and fix the problems.

Men are men and most of them are probably either wondering why "wife" is in a dark mood or have asked at some point "what's wrong" and been answered with "nothing". That to a man is a cut off, if nothing's wrong then they don't play the guessing game and keep bugging about what's wrong.

Just my views and opinions Idea

I went through over a yr of crap with mikey where I tried everything. Talking to him, writing things down, asking to go to counseling, everything. Nothing worked. I left. It still sucks sometimes. I'm thinking of moving far away now.

I'm on msn with his old best friend and we've been chatting for like 8 .Ms .Word pages about what a medical question up mikey's become. Confused

I am so glad to be over my hubby problems. I think you now in your heart whether your marriage can be saved or not.

I knew deep down that we were over even though I kept folling myself. I found this great article:

.How do you know when your marriage is over?

are you agonizing over the decision of whether or not to file for divorce?

If you are, other aspects of your life are probably being negatively impacted while you are in this state of limbo.


.Areas of your life negatively impacted by indecision

.Your job: your job may be in jeopardy due to moodiness and lack of attention.

.Your other relationships:
your children, friends and other family members may feel your sadness, frustration, impatience, fear, anger, and indecision.

.Your health:
your health is also being compromised if you aren't sleeping well, or if you are ignoring getting exercise and eating healthy foods.

.Major reason people stay
for many couples, the amount of time they have already invested in their marriages has a lot to do with their decision to stay or to go.
It's generally easier for a younger married couple to divorce and start their lives over again than it is for partners who have been together a decade or more.


are you better off married or divorced?
how do you know if you are better off staying married or getting a divorce? Only you know the answer to that question. Sometimes a marriage is worth saving and sometimes it isn't.

what to do before making major decisions
attempt to reduce the stress in your life.

Get yourself on stable ground so you can handle whatever comes your way.

Devise a survival or back up plan to give yourself more of a sense of control over your life. You may not ever have to use it, but have it anyway.

If your physical or emotional safety depends on being separated from your spouse, you must make that your priority.

things to consider
when making this type of life-changing decision, recognize what you will lose and do not count on what you may receive.
If your main reason for wanting a divorce is because you are unhappy, being single again probably won't make you happier.


questions to ask yourself
are you having dreams that you spouse is dead?

Do you feel as if you have nothing left to give to your marriage?

Has all the forgiveness, hope and patience in your heart run out?

Do you feel indifference towards your spouse?


If you've said yes to those questions,you may be at the point of no return in your marital relationship. Feeling indifference is a strong sign that your marriage is over.


seeing your marriage more clearly

sometimes getting away, even for a weekend, to sort things out on your own can help you see your situation more clearly. For many people, this is when something sort of clicks inside and they know what to do.
Taking a long, hot, bubble bath and washing your hair is helpful too. Think about the lyrics in south pacific, i'm going to wash that man right out of my hair.

Psychologists have said that washing your hair can be an emotional cleansing massage as you let all that negativity go down the drain.


moving on
when it is time to throw in the towel, you will know. You will experience an "aha" moment of clarity as to what you need to do.
If you do make the decision to divorce, be good to yourself. Remember that if your marriage fails, it doesn't mean you are a failure. Some unhealthy relationships are not meant to succeed.

Sometimes people keep trying to make sense out of something that doesn't make sense or can't be solved.

I just hate this modern idea of throw away relationships.

Generally (as in the public in general), it all too often seems (not saying it is the case for anyone) as if when a relationship strikes a hard patch the answer is to split and not to try and work things out.

What went wrong and where? People got into the relationship to begin with so there must have been something good.
Where did it go and can you get it back?

ask mikey.

Relationships take 2 people to make it work, not one person doing 200% i've learned. I always pick losers. Sad

Yes, relationships do take 2 people to make it work.

And, you tried.

But what I am asking is do most people try?

It's all well and good being pissed off at {man} for not being what {woman} wants him to be, but does he know even?

Men don't take hints well and they really don't get a lot of the female psyche. Men often need situations spelling out for them.

They need the "i feel ________, because ________, and I think doing ________ would help".

Some men are genuine jerks and that's all there is too it.
But too many people in the world don't put their side of the effort in either

That's partly my point.
Most women do not say exactly what they want - I mean exactly in the minimal of words - nice precise and concise.

So men just don't hear it.

They need to be asked/told direct and straightforward. Wink

If I felt that my marriage could be saved then of course I would want to save it. I've been down the road of dissatisfaction with him before. I've tried explaining things nicely, i've tried reasoning, i've tried logic, i've tried screaming and hollering. He doesn't give a d@mn. He'll try to make a small change but it usually only lasts a week or two before he decides that he can't be bothered with thinking about anyone besides himself. He's not a bad father. He's not a bad person (not the greatest either). He's a bad husband.

I have suggested counselling. He rejected that idea out of hand, because after all, counselling could only mean that something is wrong with him. Rolling Eyes we own and I have followed the advice of six different marriage books in an attempt to reach his wizened brain. I have explained my side of it as best as I possibly could even going so far as keeping a journal of my feelings for a week and sitting down and analyzing the reason behind every negative entry then proceeding to outline the major points that I wanted to cover in the conversation from that. I didn't even accuse. I said "i feel" or "i don't feel" at which point he insinuated that something was simply wrong with me. He has a bad case of "everyone else". All of his replies begin with "everyone else". When I try to explain to him that I am not everyone else therefore what everyone else does is irrelevant he gets angry and again accuses me of having problems. Just because I don't take his sh*t. He of course never has a problem with anything when asked. Rolling Eyes oh, i've been down this road! The solution that i've come to makes me feel almost as bad as the problem. But i'll get over that. Indeed I will! Smile I was raised in an extremely religious household and the thought of divorce gave me the biggest guilt trip i've ever had. But, eh, I simply can't believe that the .God that i've been raised with wants me to be emotionally neglected and manipulated with emotional abuse and not-so-subtle threats to stay in a marriage that makes me miserable. Marriage is a "we" thing, not an "i" thing. So thank you very much for trying to play mediator, kia. I appreciate the sentiment behind it, I really do. But this is something that has been a long time coming and unless sir say-me-a-lot gets hit with a lightning bolt of awareness and completely changes his "i, me, my and mine" ways, he and I are going to come to a parting of the ways. Evil or
Very Mad the selfish health questions.

It's not just you hun, more than a few people have posted relationship problems and all too often I see the replies saying "oh just leave him" rather than trying to work things out.

I mean if people have tried and it still doesn't worj then it's better apart and happy than together and unhappy.

It's just that as I say quite a few people seem to be have relationship issues recently.

And as I said in my first post I am not up to date on who what where and when, i'm really just commenting on the general feelings that people in general seem to have with their hubbys at the moment
