Guest guest Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Dear Bennie, I am 32 going to be 33 years old in December. Touching is also important to my husband and I too. A hug, a stroke of the arm, a rub of the shoulders, kisses on the lips, for example. I won't say more than that on this subject as it is generally one I keep to myself. Most of my pain is in my back and it can go into my pelvis and bottom. The amitriptylne takes some of the edge off at 50mg however being on my back is still quite the problem. I let my husband know about my fears and concerns whereas he is more closed off about such things. He tends to accept more how things are or maybe he pushes it away and forgets it. I take his word for it that he accepts things. Whereas I have apologized not like a broken record but I have apologized especially when I am in off the charts pain and tell him I love him and appreciate all he does. We dated for six years and been married for two years. I am really feeling the strain of our marriage together. I know it is rough on him as on I for things to be as they are. I really appreciate your message and the others I got as well. I hope my husband and I can work through this and things will improve. He is a very special guy and the closest to the man I had in my mind as my ideal. However, I am also aware pain has caused our relationship to strain. I just have to see how it will all go. He has been away in upper Michigan real close to Canada. I expect him back tomorrow late afternoon. I had wanted to go with him to see his parents. They are great people but I am not physically able to make the trip so I came to stay with my parents because of deep depression and anxiety. Thankfully the second is more under control. As to the first I have my moments of control and other times not. It is a rough journey but I know I will get through it. Just how things will ultimately be time will tell. I of course will keep the group informed. Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
