Nothing. Just nothing. Empty. When he didn’t give me any more money for Thanksgiving (see post), I pretty much stopped talking to him.  At all.  Period. Not there were any great conversations anyway. He still talks to me. He tells … Continue reading →

I’m feeling lonely tonight.  Not a needy lonely.  Just an empty lonely.  Like there should be someone in my life for me to love and to be loved back. I don’t know how to explain it. “Conversation” with him is … Continue reading →

I don’t know if this post will make sense.  I’m really tired tonight. Today I was thinking about what I wanted, or, more correctly, how I could tell him what I wanted. A big mistake I’ve made in my marriage … Continue reading →

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Writing about Passive Aggression

He’s ignoring me this morning.  Silent treatment.  And don’t even ask me why.  Who knows. We’re at a convention and this morning in the hotel room, he is completely ignoring me. The main thought running through my mind is, I … Continue reading →

Did I ever tell you that I hate August? I probably haven’t mentioned it, but every year, I hate August. I got married in August.  And for awhile, August really wasn’t a problem. But then I started noticing that every … Continue reading →

How I Felt

Posted on June 9, 2012 by Writing about Passive Aggression

So, how did I feel about the “Not selling” incident?  (See previous post.) At first I was shocked at how blatantly immature he was about it.  This is playground stuff.  “If you don’t do it my way, I’m not going … Continue reading →

This morning’s conversation

Posted on June 3, 2012 by Writing about Passive Aggression

This morning I woke up depressed.  Which is not unusual for me.  Most of the time I talk myself out of it, telling myself over and over and over, “it’s going to be o.k., it’s going to be o.k.”  This … Continue reading →
