Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Akiba and all, thanks for your comments about my anniversary. Yes 40 yrs is a big one and we had discussed it over and over for months before hand, and I even said lets buy each other a personal gift, and then we can get a big gift that we both would benefit from. Like an adjustable bed. He said that sounded good to him. So I spent probably a month looking at watches for him and decided on one that was quite spendy, but it had a black face with red hands, and 5 alarm settings. The red hands signified red for ruby as the 40th is the ruby one. Not to mention it is my birthstone. So I was really excited to give it to him and to explain what it symbolized. He gave me an unwrapped dvd/cd that I had said I wanted for my BIRTHDAY [which is tomorrow] he went out the day before our anniversary and bought it. There was no thought, just something he got from me. You would think after 40 years he would know what would touch my heart. LI had been thinking about leaving him for a while now, only because the stress of taking care of me [which is as minimal as I can make it] has become a burden to him I’m afraid. He doesn’t listen half the time, and when I get frustrated he acts like a whipped puppy dog. I’ve taken into consideration that because he has health issues too that is why he isn’t as attentive as he use to be, and may have cognitive problems that prevent him from remembering. But then I hear him talking to others and he’s chipper, laughs, and remembers things they say to him. I thought if I left then he could have a better life, and we could still be friends maybe. So I talked with my daughter about sharing a house with her and her hubby, and her hubby wrote me back and said it wasn’t fair to her for her to have to take care of me and them. So if I divorced Steve I could get SSI, and all the benefits and get in home care, and then if Steve wanted to live next door to me we could still be friends, and maybe even remarry later down the road.  I was raised with the belief that family takes care of family, and that hurt to be told it would be unfair for my daughter to have to take care of me. So now I don’t know what to do? Tomorrow is my birthday and I really don’t care. I’m sorry to have to dump all of this on you guys, but I don’t know who else to talk to that really cares.

Hey everyone, I’ve been here reading but not feeling very well to post. Had a very disappointing anniversary, and it has got me feeling very blue. I was so excited to give Steve his special gift, but I guess it wasn’t as important to get me a personal present from his heart. After 40 yrs you would think he could have been romantic. I won’t bore you with all the details, but I guess my expectations were too high. LI’ll check back in when I feel better.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Awww.... Jackie. What a lousy way to spend your birthday--thinking about stuff like leaving Steve and feeling slighted by your daughter. What does your DAUGHTER say or was it just her hubby who wrote to you? Take some time on this and don't rush into anything. Can you get help to come in now to assist you and to help Steve? I know he has health problems too so maybe things are just too much for him to handle on his own.big hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
