On a more positive note, my husband and I had been having LOTS of problems in our marriage about a year and a half ago. He had told me for the hundredth time that things would change blah blah blah. But this time he actually did! We began reading His Needs, Her Needs by Willard Harley. It took 100% effort on both our parts, but our marriage definitely began to change. We also started seeing a marriage counselor who helped us implement many of the things we learned from the book. It was all SO worth it, and even though we still have our tough times, we've learned to work it out and our marriage is very strong now.
I would definitely recommend this book as a great place to start putting your marriage back together.

I feel sorry for your daughter - was she excited about the new furniture?   Anyhow - just to get her off of the floor you could just get a bedframe for now.  They're only about $30, y ou should be able to get it in your car by yourself and they're pretty easy to put together.  Good luck!  Update on my DH - we had a great day yesterday!  He made me a potting table for my gardening, went out for lunch and then took a nice drive to look at a cottage for sale that we had been wanting to see. Also - I got my period so maybe I was PMSing hard when I posted before (don't tell HIM I said that though lol!)

My husband has nearly been the death of me this year.

In February he confessed to having an addiction problem.  As hard as it was, it has been wonderful for us.  Working through his recovery has made him realize what a selfish jerk he was.  The hardest part was we had been having marital problems ( wonder why) for some time when he admitted his drug problem (well I discovered his problem).  I was looking into the steps I needed to take to file for divorce when I found out.

Then just over a month ago, he foot started to swell.  What they thought was possibly a spider bite was actually a strep (flesh eating virus) infection and he had to have surgery to drain the infection.   He was really, really sick, and for several days continued to get worse.  One of the scariest things I've ever been through.


But with everything that has happened our relationship is better than ever.  It has really brought us closer together and we talk now instead of fight.  (His Zoloft may be to thank too!)

Glad your marriage is getting better!

  "his Zoloft may be to thank too!"

You're a funny girl! (I did detect a note of irony/sarcasm there...???) Maybe?

If not....I guess it's my own sick humour...sorry!

I just found this and was wondering if anyone else's husband lives in his own "time zone"? 

It doesn't matter HOW MANY times I tell hubby WHAT TIME an event is going on, someone's coming over, whatever, if it's not something on his top 5 of favorite things to do, he'll NEVER be on time. 

Sad to say, but I've started moving up the "appointed time" he needs to be home, we need to leave, etc., to allow for DH Savings Time!
