I am so tired...

Comment Published at 05:1005:105 comments5 comments55 Visits55 VisitsReport
Okay...my husband left yesterday for work-he is an airline Captain.  He will not be home until Tuesday night.  I hate when he leaves.  Not only is it hard being the only one taking care of the children...but Ben has made soem bad choices on a more than a few occasions since we have been married.  Not giving him excuses, but more times then not alcohol was involved.  He has never slept with anyone else, but it is inappropriate conversation and not saying he is married and things of that nature.  I am trying to trust him while he is gone.  Even though he is at work he still meets people everywhere.  For example, he is done with work today at noon...but he will eat lunch and dinner at a bar down from the hotel--he is staying in a tiny town in IL.  I am trying not to call him and check his where abouts every hour and it is hard.  If I could stay out of the bathroom for more than 20 minutes, that would be nice.  I just get so nervous.  I try to keep my mind off things with the kids...but right now it is not working.  I am getting ready for baths this morning...and my 18 month old screams when he gets out...he wants to stay in all day, even when he is turning purple--so I am dreading that.   My sister stayed at a friends house-which I am glad...the kids are not quiet in the morning and, of course, they have not heard of sleeping in.  She has been talkign to her ex-fiance some this week.  He has a 5 year old little girl.  She came over to play with my oldest yesterday.  They had a good time...Okay, so I think I am going to go wake up the baby (3 1/2 months and he rolled over yesterday-twice) and feed him.  Then give him a bath and bath the other 2 as well....Have a good one!

You'll be in my prayers
I hope things brighten up for you.  I can't begin to understand what you're going through, but I will pray for you and your family.  It takes so much work to truly forgive someone, especially the forgetting part.  Remember all the reasons why you love him.  Maybe that'll help.
(((hugs)))

Thank You for your message.  Ben actually got done working today at like 2 in the afternoon.  He sat in a pub place all day watching football.  He did have a few beers but I just kept saying to myself he loves me he is doing the same thing that millions of men are doing today...and I started to feel better already--but don't forget to pray for me!  I really appreciate it!

Hang in there girl

Really hard when hubby is away. Mine used to work in a job that took him away from the family for 3 or so days every 3 months. I trusted him completely, but having an ex who was a bit of a ladies man, a gambler, and liked to have a few drinks ( it was a nasty abusive relationship, hence he is my ex, and we have nothing to do with him), it still made me feel really edgy. It is something I couldn't help. I was working full time, which meant the days went faster, and I didnt have my now 4 month old bubs. So it must be a nagging gnawing feeling for you with littlies at home. I guess you really need to ask yourself why you dont trust him completely. It is normal to feel uncomfortable when your partner is away (ask anyone in the same situation), but is it just discomfort, or are you thrashing about in your sleep, finding yourself shed a tear on the odd occasion, feeling a tiny bit of anger towards him is some way... Cos if so, you might want to sit him down and go through some stuff, if you feel you can.

Does he even know you posted this blog?? Use this site as a way to get advice, but try and get some practical help if you are feeling so wrung out. No wonder you are tired! You have your hands and your head full!

Feel free to chat anytime you get the nags eh?

 Cindy.

Thank you for your message!  I think I do trust Ben, but when he is away I can actually "see" him doing teh things he did before.  He says he loves me 100 times a day and says he has changed.  After the one major incident, I called his mother.  She thinks he can do no wrong.  So, he was e-mailing back and forth with soem girl he met during a layover in VA.  I read his mother the e-mails I found.  She called Ben and said listen get your head out of your ass or leave.  She was like Leanna can do this without you--raising our then only son.  So if you want to be in this family then act like it.  Since then he has been on the straight and narrow.  I just don't know how to forget what I have already forgiven him for.  I have always been pretty insecure...and after 3 babies in 3 1/2 years I don't look like I used to--hopefully soon though.  I think a big part of it is my self-esteem so we will see how things go!
