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

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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!
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. 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
