Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

So today i think it may be time to move to leaving board.  Today is our anniversary and I got after I said happy anniversary... ."yup I guess so".  Last night he tried to pick a fight and I didn't engage in it.  I just can't see another 10 years of this.  I am losing out on things I want in my life because I constantly put me on hold.

  I am losing out on things I want in my life because I constantly put me on hold.   

First of all... Happy Anniversary!       I realize that there may be feelings inside you that don't seem "happy".  Here is my hope for you today.  That you can find memories that were happy and sit with those.  Spend time sitting with the incredibly insensitive remark that your husband made.

All of those feelings are real.

You have been married 10 years, and it would appear that you went through some tough times.  Would it be accurate to say that you "survived"?

Can I focus you back on your statement?  Perhaps not today... .but in a couple days can you come back and post about what you are loosing out on?

My final hope for you is that you stick with it posting on these boards so you can figure out how to "thrive" for the next few years.

Then when you get an accurate picture of what "thriving" looks like in your r/s, I think you can better assess which board to be on.

 

What can you do today for some special self care?  You deserve it!
