I'm Back Again!

Sorry I have neglected posting as regularly as I normally do.

I had some things going on emotionally and I only got on the computer once and thats when I answered Ana that I'm still here and will post later.

First of all I faced a fear on Saturday but then the next day regressed backwards again in my problems. I was so torn up inside on Sunday that I never returned to the computer the rest of the day or night.

I am much better this afternoon, finally! I talked to my mom this morning and after talking it out to her I was starting to feel better quickly. And then I had to clean the whole house which always takes me at least 3 hours, and even then I don't feel like I did a complete job but it is a very big job for 1 person to do and the reason I have a housekeeper is because everytime I vacuum it tears up my osteoarthritis in my hips, so I usually have her just do the floors and bathrooms and I do the dusting and kitchen. Well, she didn't show up or call this morning which seems to happen more times than not and so I had to do the whole house and now my lower back and hip is hurting, IBUPROFEN!!!

I have a major MAJOR trust problem and like I told my mom this morning, I don't know if I will ever be able to fully trust like I once did before the experience happened with my dad. It seems I work on this daily and want more than anything in this world to be able to have that peaceful feeling of trust, I cry so hard about it at times because it feels like no matter what I do it just remains there above me. My husband is the absolute best, most supportive, most caring, genuine, patient, loving person I've ever known and yet even though I do really know this logically, emotionally I'm still stuck way back there and I feel bad for being this way, I feel bad for him because he is so very patient with me on this issue, more patient than anyone else would probably be. It has seemed to totally consume my every thought. Every move, every gesture,etc. I suspicion because underneath that is complete fear of being abandoned and betrayed just as I was when I was 8. I really do know that this is stemming completely from my past and I really don't know what else to do other than what I've been doing which is trying to change myself. I don't know why its so very hard for me.

Anyway, I just said all that because this is my biggest issue in my life. I don't want it to ruin my relationship with my husband and I know that if it keeps going too long that it very well could do that, even with as much love and care that he gives me there is only so much someone can take. I've told him this several times and expressed how much I hate that I have this problem and I hate that he is having to endure it and that I KNEW before we met that I still had a bad trust problem and that whoever I ended up with that it would probably make things pretty tense. He tells me that he understands this about me and that he has faith in me that I will overcome this and that he has no intention on just giving up because he says he knows my heart and thats why he loves me so much and thats what helps him be so patient with me on this. He says that its just one of those unfortunate disadvantages I had growing up to where I never had the chance to learn what trust is like but that now I know differently and can change it and he says he hopes that he can do everything he can to help me achieve that.

I am glad that you are feeling better now!
I think your husband is a true gem!  When you describe his character, it reminds me so much of my own husband.  God puts us with the perfect mate for us...I am an emotional wreck a lot lately, and I know that there is no other man than my husband who would be so supportive and caring without being resentful about my behavior.  It sounds like your husband is the same way.
There are some issues that we have to deal with ALL of our lives, and yours is one big issue that will try to haunt you forever.  You have such mental control and can talk yourself through situations, which is a blessing for you.  More than that though, your husband really does understand where your fears are coming from, and with his disposition, he is going to be there for you, no matter what.
I sometimes feel like I don't deserve such a wonderful husband, but I am SO very thankful for him, as I know you are for your husband.
You are always in my prayers, and I will continue to pray that these issues become a minimal part of your life.
Sending a hug your way!

Thanks for the support Tina! He is indeed a gem and I always remind myself of that every time I get into one of those distrustful mindsets and it does help. I know that my distrtust truly has nothing to do with him at all. We had a couple things right before we got married that we had to straighten out but he explained his fears to me. He had never been married before (he was 40 when we met)and we dated for a year and I was kinda pushy and of course I'm an emotional type and he just didn't know me well enough to understand why I was being so much in a hurry to get married, he thought maybe I was just dreaming of a better life financially and wasn't sure that it was truly love instead, he thought maybe I was blinded by it or something. But we got through that one and I guess that incident didn't help my trust problem. We met on Match.com and right up until the day he asked me to marry him he was still pulling up profiles and emailing them, but once I snooped around and found out we talked it out and he said he knew it was never going to go anywhere because thats why he chose the ones out of state and that he had such fears about getting hurt that it was in the back of his mind like a backup plan in case something happened.
So, I still haven't been able to get past it for some reason. And I know that its just because I've been hurt so many times in my past by men that that one thing just added to the belief of not being able to trust men.

Anyway, thanks for your prayers, much appreciated!

I kissed tons of ugly toads but am sure glad I finally got it right for once!

I didn't even notice the misspelling til you just said that. I've done that plenty too.

I really do love my hair except for its so hard to explain to them the sides. I told her about 3x that I don't like hardly any hair added over on each side of head because I wear my hair in a ponytail a lot because I work out so much, so she said she understood and as soon as I'm saying that I feel that she is putting them in around that area anyway. I don't know why it is so hard for them to comprehend this but I end up getting so irritated from it.
Then I have to always go back again and have them take some out! A major pain and hassle it is.
