or ... your chemical of choice. Watching my wife , who representitive of "my" genertion, (50+) while SHE is watching CNN. No logic, no informed comment, no pertenant facts, will sway her from her little world.....
yes, there're options,....but we've been married 35yrs. & I'd give my life for hers' in a second.
so..., tell me, what do you do when you FINLALLY realize ......you're alone ?

My husband is not going any further than where he is right now. He's lazy, not just professionally, but personally and emotionally lazy.

UncleSepp translated for me. Yeah, it bites to be in a place where you're just not connecting with your spouse. :-(

33. my husband was apolitical, until about a year or two yelling |
|
Edited on Fri Feb-24-06 12:24 AM by seabeyond
about bushco and the repugs. then he started becoming informed. my world is a lot more easier now that i know he knows what is going on. he understands also why i spend so much time learning things.
it is hard all the people that have no desire or refuse to know what is happening in this world
35 years, you would die for her. live the good of who she is, and get your political discussion here at this board. i know it is hard, but there will be a time, and soon i believe, when there isnt going to be the crisis that we so need people like your wife to be informed, and then maybe things will settle down for you all
good luck, take care

34. Do you have friends you can lean on for a while? |

I know you might not want to leave, but having other people to be with will at least give you a safe space to vent about it...

you'll die alone, but in between are the multitudes of possibilities.
and everyone changes, so what are you going to do to change yourself to sway her back into your world?
good luck Geo55. dp
