He's been on leave for the past couple of weeks and has indulged himself more than he should. Plus, he's tried to keep pace with my eating for two. I'm not saying stress hasn't played a part in this, but he seems happy overall, and very affectionate. <br /><br />The problem has mostly been on my end: the further along I get in my pregnancy, the more withdrawn I feel. I think that has to do with experiencing something that my husband cannot fully comprehend, and all the emotions that go along with that. A woman's world is often a private (and lonely) place, even when she tries to let others in. <br /><br />Fortunately, I'm feeling much better now that I'm back in Virginia.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176254886383532172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024963906468946774.post-78164338134669668402009-11-07T21:48:12.643-05:002009-11-07T21:48:12.643-05:00I'm so sorry you're having a rough time ri...I'm so sorry you're having a rough time right now. I definitely know how you feel about your home town. That's how it is here, and if you don't go to college, you end up another one of the deadbeats that are stuck there for the rest of your life. I'm not saying it's a bad town, because I wouldn't trade growing up here for anything. It's a wonderful place to grow up. But it's not a good place to start a life and expand your horizons. In regards to your hubby, have you maybe thought of couple's counseling? I can't pretend to know what you're going through, but the stress of his career along with a new baby is probably really tough on him. Maybe he just doesn't know how to express that, so he turns to food for comfort. He wouldn't be the first or last person to do that. It also sounds like you're really stressed out too...about your family/hometown, the baby, your relationship. Maybe it would do you both some good to get everything out in the open. I don't know anything about your situation so by all means this might not be right for you, but I'm just trying to help. No matter what, I hope things start looking up for you. Know that you are cared for!<br /><br />--KonnorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024963906468946774.post-81964824725662716092009-11-06T19:09:12.748-05:002009-11-06T19:09:12.748-05:00Thanks, Greg.

We all live thousands of miles apart, and it's much better now when we do see one another, but I recallin my 20s to early 30s living closer to family and when visiting I always felt a "distance", a "difference", how their lives seemed so much better. I now know that it's not necessarily true that their lives were so much better, but my perception through my depresive mind. Making me feel like a lesser person, even than those who cared for me. <br /><br />Here's hoping your son helps bridge the gap that seems to exist between you and your spouse. You are all good people who deserve the best.<br /><br />GregGregoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336462833928582465noreply@blogger.com
