Oh the challenges you don't realize that you will face along this journey. Marital, social, work, just about everything. My husband has become jealous, which caused me to pull away, which caused his jealousy to increase, which caused me to pull away more, which caused his jealousy....you see where this is going. Especially now that I can go out and feel confident and talk to everyone. (getting me to shut up is the trick) I went out for a cocktail after all my errands and everything were done. An old buddy of mine (that my husband has known since day one knowing me) was up there. We don't see each other often because of distance, work, family, etc. so we were catching up. My husband came up too and had a beer after work. I got the "why were you busy talking to him and not me" talk when I got home. Now - I love my husband but is it wrong of me to be social? It is not inappropriate conversation, or flirty behavior, just straight conversation about life, his new baby, how I've dealt with the surgery, stuff like that. I hear mixed things. My mom says - as long as I can do it in front of my husband, it is not wrong. Others say I should give him 100% of my attention when we are out. Ok - but I don't get to go out much alone either for that to work. I am so confused and it is causing problems between us. To the point of talking divorce. I do right by him, but he is so paranoid that it is straining the relationship. Ack. I am so trusting it is crazy. I hope we can find some middle ground and work through this. I just know I don't want to hide at the house 7 days a week like him. I like singing and dancing and meeting new people. Nough rambling for now. Better get back to work. LOL
