The Vent

[Mephys 2]

Aww so many painful souls today, I wish I could be more help...and when I read you all sometimes it makes me feel selfish for being sad about such and such silly things that has nothing to compare. I have a wonderful husband I can count on, and most of our fights are just stupid things that don't matter in the end. We both started all over, moved into an appartment together, and hopefully in a near future we will buy a house that we will make our home for the years to come, and who knows, maybe add a member in the family.

All I can say is be strong and follow your hearts Miss Stacey and Spirit

Twelvity-five points. And the face!

When we got bored of regular Scrabble we (meaning my friends and family in Ontario) used to play Trailer Trash Scrabble..... where you could make up words or strings of words.... as long as you used them in a sentence and it made sense. But it had to be ghetto. I scored the all-time best at 175 points for one word. Or is that one hundred and twelvity-five points?

Krikit, please do tell us your winning trailer trash word.

That sounds like a fund game to play, except, how/why did YOU win?

Marriage is not easy. My first marriage only lasted 3 weeks- I used to be sad that I never even got to experience what real marriage was like. Now I am in a real marriage and sometimes I have feelings that I still don't know what it is supposed to be like.

I hate the feeling of not truly believing I belong here. This is Mel's home. We didn't build this home together, we didn't both work to build everything up together. This was his grandparents home- he grew up here. Things are still as his grandma left them. I have no say in what happens in this home. I feel like a guest. If we got divorced tomorrow- his life would not change one bit. Sometimes I feel so resentful because of that. Nothing would change in his life except the fact I was not in it.

I used to be able to talk to him about anything- I was always so open and honest. He always seemed to accept my point of view and see where I was coming from. When we had our first big fight- everything I had ever said came flying back at me in a negative way. Now I am at the point where I don't feel I can truly confide. I can't live the rest of my life keeping things "light and fluffy" I want a best friend. I want a true partner, I want someone who loves me and truly understands me.

Blah Blah Blah (Iggy Pop)- I'm starting to cry.

Aww MissStacey, i'm really sorry to hear this, I feel for you. When you say

"I used to be able to talk to him about anything- I was always so open and honest. He always seemed to accept my point of view and see where I was coming from. When we had our first big fight- everything I had ever said came flying back at me in a negative way. Now I am at the point where I don't feel I can truly confide."

That has got to be so hurtful to you and also not right, but you already know that. You love your Husband, you are stuck in a bad situation, I have no idea how someone turns something like this around, so I won't pretend to. I just hope you are able to see a way through or out, I wish you well.

this health insurance ####### is driving me crazy

I wish I could remember! We always laughed so much with this game, and said we'd never forget the words. But I did. Next time I'll write them down. lol

Aye!

I am dealing with the crapola for dental insurance at the moment.

What was the point?

Grrrr...

I feel your pain. Depends on what your needs are but I chose the most expensive one (with better coverage)!

Have I told the story of my ER visit which cost $2500? Or a simple eye prescription costing $125?

I believe it is better to have the best coverage rather than be in a financial bind.

How do you pass the time. All of this waiting is driving us crazy. Try to focus on work but having trouble doing it. Thank god there is a weekend coming up. But they don't get mail up in Canada on the weekend so if its not in the mail today, its not until Tuesday. Mary suggested that she sit downstairs and wait for the mailman each day. Our lives feel like we are frozen solid, and only this letter can thaw us out. Its hard to think and plan, since we have no idea within a few possible dates, when things can move forward. Mary's son is already going to miss at least the first month of school. I feel like a cog in a machine, a pawn in some game, waiting for some God-like figure to put us into play. Until then, our lives are on hold. Out of our control.

we didn't have much to choose from either HMO which was going to be between 200 to 300 bucks a month and when you are only making between $1500 to $2000 a month that is a lot or are other choice was HSA... we went with HSA, we will see how it goes

yeah I know all about medical bills.. the insurance with his last job payed up to 90 percent of the total charge so we had to pay the co/pays and the 10% ..that still adds up... I racked up a lot of bills last December I was in and out of the hospital a lot...

I can relate to the marriage issues...

I've been having troubling emotions (and lack of) regarding this for a long while now. I thought it would go away once my husband and I were together again, but it hasn't. I tried going to counseling for it, but talking to my counselor was like talking to a brick wall.

Everything is so passionless. I'm definitely not considering divorce or anything like that because I do love him dearly, but it feels like I'm living with a roommate rather than a love.

I don't know how to fix this...

[Flames9_RN 358]

With regards to a counselor,one has to find one that they feel comfortable working with.
