becoming estranged
You've heard of the seven-year itch in relationships? Well, Bret and I seem to have hit the seven-MONTH itch. Things are pretty rough right now, and have been for some time. Last week, he admitted to me that he had not been completely honest with me about some aspects of our early relationship, and now he seems to regret his candor. There are several other factors involved as well, which are causing him a great deal of stress. He is reacting to all this by shutting me out, which is extremely hurtful to me. Now and then, I am able to break through the wall he's erected around himself, but most of the time I just feel abandoned. That makes me depressed and scared.
So, for the time being, becoming mrs. bret will be on hiatus. Most of the factors contributing to our estrangement are too personal to share, and my focus right now needs to be on supporting my husband and salvaging our relationship. I cannot say when — or if — I will resume posting entries here, but in the meantime, I invite you to enjoy my alternate blog, Chronic Listaholic. I will DEFINITELY continue posting random lists there. It's a creative outlet for me, and sometimes it's about all that keeps me sane!!!
Because, you know, sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.
