Update: From a desparate Newlywed!

Ok, we are NOT getting a divorce! Well, we never really were going to, but I certainly was entertaining the idea in my head for a few desperate hours!

We are going to Poconos this weekend with his parents! DH has been helpful for the past 2 days, cleans up after himself without waiting for me to do it and always making sure that all his stuff is where it belongs and not all over the livingroom floor! Amount of time spend in front of the computer is shorter! So, it seems that this marriage can still be saved!

I would like to thank all the ladies who offered their kind words and advice and especially those who send me FM! I posted about my problem even though it seems that people never usually do that sort of thing, because it’s just too personal and it also makes you and your DH/Fi look bad! I was overwhelmed with the amount of FMs I received from girls who reached out to me and shared their similar experience, telling me that I am not alone, that they feel, or felt at some point exactly the same way! They never wanted to share it on line feeling it was too embarrassing, because sometimes these boards make it seem that everyone else have a perfect relationship and a rosy marriage, and therefor you will be judged because you are the only one who can’t hold it together! Well, it ain’t so!

Also, I guess it’s easier to share with some sympathetic people who you nevert the less never met, rather then with friends or siblings who are, while meaning well, are always bias! It was so good to know that I am not alone and I am not a part of some freaky marriage that is doomed, that most people went through the same painful experience, and that the problem is fixable! Thank you all, you know who you are! I really needed to hear what you guys shared with me! You are the best!

Sweetie, you are not alone, and like I stated in my last response, we all have issues in our relationships that we all work on or choose to ignore or let them become big issues or choose to move on and ignore them. I for one would never judge anyone on here who came to us with a relationship problem. I know my relationship is not perfect and it far from it. I have a great husband but we are a constant work in progress. We might not all air our laundry but we all go thru one thing or another. I am glad things are looking up for you. Know that we are all here for you.

Oh I forgot to say, I am the last person who would make it seem as if marriage is perfect and there are not ups and downs the only difference is, I am willing to stay and work with my husband b/c my marriage means the world to me. I do not take my vows lightly. I do not plan on leaving anytime soon as much as there are times you just want to strangle them.

I'm glad to hear that things are working out...

going to the poconos is a great idea...
it reminds me of the montauk manor...we went there right after we got married and there is a guest book in each room...and you are supposed to write your experience in it...there were stories that made me cry...a couple trying to get back together...a wife taking is workaholic husband so he doesn't burn out...a guest that stayed there on 9/11...heartwrenching!! and then we got to add our mini-honeymoon!!

best of luck

YEAH!! Good news!! Have a great time in the Poconos and keep working at it!
Shamma said it perfectly and I think it applies to all relationships - they are works in progress! If everything was always perfect, we'd be bored !
