Geez. i can’t catch a break. J doesn’t seem to get it. i want him. i need him. And, he backs off. i don’t know why. i don’t know if he is having his own issue (if that’s the case i wish he’d discuss it with me) or if he thinks he’s gonna break me or what.
i’m lonely. i have great friends. But, friends only carry you so far. i miss J.

There no ‘lonely’ like the lonely of a loved one who’s in the same room 😦

Terri – that is just about the truest thing I’ve ever heard – my husband and I went through a period like that (pretty much the whole first year of our marriage) it was absolutely horrible!!
angel (interesting typo… I almost called you anger haaaa) I know this is gonna sound silly – but have you tried asking him – you said you don’t know what his problem is… maybe if you sat him down and told him how you really feel… or wrote him a letter – I always find writing letters to be more helpful… you can get out everything you want to say without interruptions or someone cutting you off to be defensive or whatever, ya know?
when Sam and I went through that year of hell I think the only thing that saved us was that one day we just sat down and said enough is enough!! and both started making a conscious effort to communicate our feelings and just be THERE – because even though we were in the same room we were not really THERE
I wish I had some brilliant advice to give you – or knew what miracle occurred to turn us around – but I don’t… all I know is that we started talking
now when we start feeling disconnected again one of us is sure to bring it up to the other before it gets out of hand
