Just looking for some advice.......

Original post by sadwife07

I am a regular poster, but wanted to keep my identity hidden for this particular post. I trust all of my wonderful ladies here on LIW, but I have friends that read the boards as well, and I don't want them to know that I am talking about this......so I hope you understand.

I am going through something right now that is getting more difficult to deal with as each day passes. My husband and I have been married for a while now, and everything is wonderful. But I feel that I am missing something and it is destroying me inside and I am scared of what it will do to our relationship.

I moved to be with my husband over 3 years ago. Before the move took place, we discussed where we would go after our weddding; location. He told me that he wanted to move back to my home town since he knew how much I missed my friends, family, nieces and nephews. He knew that me leaving all of them to move with him was the hardest thing that I had ever done. I wanted to be sure that he was OK with this decision. He promised me that he was and we could start looking for a new home in my home town after our wedding. None of his familly live in the town we live in right now.

Well, our wedding has come and gone and we started talking about moving, as he said we would. He told me that after thinking more about it, he's decided that he can't do that move anymore and wants to stay where we are. I reminded him our conversation prior to our wedding and he said he remembers it, but he never really thought that I was serious about moving back, becuase he wasn't. It was 'just' a covnersation to him.

Now I am so torn, hurt and confused. I love him with all of my heart, but feel resentment towards him for this. Am I wrong to feel this way? I don't know. I am very sad and miss my family so much! I know my husband is my family now, and I love him to death! But I just can't get over the fact that he did this just to get me to move with him.

I just don't know what to do. Part of me wants to just pack up my things and leave because I feel so betrayed. And the other part of me thinks that since we are married now, I should stay and just get used to his decision.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you girls.

I agree with all of the posts that you must talk to your DH right away. This is a major concern for you and your relationship with him. One thing to realize, is that men aren't mind readers, so at all times we need to express clearly what we are feeling and now is the time to do so. Explain that you were serious before the wedding and you are serious now and that this is not something that will be brushed aside.

I am sorry this is happening to you. Please know that we are all here for you.

Communication. Just talk to FH and tell him how you feel once again. It's important that he understand that this is hurting you. If you can solicit help. Ask a professional. I wish i could give you better advice. Good Luck with everything. My Best is with you.

most of all are my and
