Default Re: Love, Depression, Booze

Well today was a little better in the morning. She was getting ready for work and came upstairs. I was on bed just waking up and asked her to come over. She sat down next to me and I mentioned just a week ago she was leaning over and kissing me on the cheek to get up. She said that she was trying for herself to see if she could try to make it work. After a little more talking she said said she feels like a prisoner in her own home. She can't do anything for herself. We do work opposite hours and days. We have 2 kids and a little support system but that’s not my fault. She said she needs to socialize with other people. I am ok with that if she can get a plan together. I said as long as it’s not with single men. As she was about to leave we talked a little more about her feelings and she has a habit of holding stuff in until she explodes. If something bothers her I might not hear it or she might not let me know it’s important. I think this is where the counselor will help. I think this will teach us both to communicate. I also think she will help us work on giving my wife the time and ability to socialize. Now you have to understand my wife is on facebook from the time she’s home until bed. That could be 2am. I think she takes it extreme... I do think she wants to go to see somebody but is waiting on me to make the first move. She seems reluctant to show she is going to try until I make the first step... I hope we are headed in the right direction.
