[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Sorry to have missed you Barb. Hope the flight home doesn't exacerbate your ick and that it's all better soon.
And all better soon to you too, Aimee. I understand regretting missing the birth, but you have the whole rest of your life to love that little girl, so in the long run it'll be OK.
Mad at myself for not going to the doc sooner like everyone under the sun told me to. Burrell is totally right - I have forever to love her and it was nice that my mom got to be there, I'm just feeling a bit down in the dumpies about it.
Oh Nora! What's going on, love??
Nora, do you need to vent? I'm a little low energy but I can listen if you want to call.
Dear husband: after 8+ years of your telling me over and over again how much of a fuck up you are (and me saying that isn't true) I am finally starting to see your point of view.
Aw honey...
Do we have Tipsy Nora again? (I'm not dismissing the sentiment -- just trying to assess your state of mind.)
Hang in there. Even when you really really want it a move is hard. We gotcher back.
Awww Nora, I have been in your headspace before. Being married is hard work, and sometimes you want to throw your hands in the air and ... run away for a life of crime. Those times do pass, I promise. If you need to vent, we're here for you.
Who's tipsy on a Sunday night and has two thumbs?
...this girl!
I may join you. Wooooo!
It's important to me to say our vows in front of our friends and family (and have a fucking rocking party after). But I understand that's not everyone's ideal. It's nice we have choices!
Sorry you're having a rough time, Nora. A big move like you guys made, no matter how great in how many ways, has got to be stressful.
Not tipsy, just aggravated. But it's better now (as it always tends to be.)
Just needed to vent- thanks for listening and validating! I think I will go back and delete my original comment, just in case.
It's hard, things are more intense because we're more isolated and depend on each other more for the day to day emotional cues.
It'll be OK. Thanks.
Glad to hear it, Nora. I know exactly what you mean about isolation intensifying the relationship. Dave & I are like that often, and we get caught in a feedback loop because there's no one else to disrupt our cycles, so we just go round and round with each other. We're learning how to utilize our mutual resources to break ourselves out of that. But we do rely on each other a lot, and in the end, that's not a bad thing, just something we had to learn to manage differently. And, you know, we made friends and stuff here, and that helps.
