Hey girls...I just wanted to thank you all so much for taking the time to listen and lend some support you all are the bestl!!
I was in a really bad place yesterday and talked to Don when he came home last night and for the first time, he really seemed to take me seriously and agreed to counseling (and anything else I wanted him to do) he even said "what do you want me to do?" (this is a first..lol)
good liz, this is great news. i really think your kind of situation is well suited for counseling. it seems like you can make this work. i'm glad he's receptive. keep us posted. xoxo.
I am so glad he is being receptive to your needs and emotions right now. I wish you happiness and I hope that counseling is the answer. Thanks for the update.
I am happy for you and glad that Don is acknowledging your feelings and the situation. Counseling can be so helpful and since you are open to it, I bet you find your stress leaving quicker than you thought. :hug:
i missed what's going on, but want you to know that i'm a HUGE believer in the power of counseling/therapy...when both people are bringing the truth to the table, it can work wonders.
it's a hard road though, even with that. marc and i have been in counseling for over a year, and i see no end in sight. we tend to get on a high, and then come crashing down to square one. so be prepared, that it may feel like everything is better at first, but that ups and downs are still a reality.
not to be uber-downer, just know that therapy can sometimes be a band aid...and that the real issues will come up, like it or not.
I hope this is the trick to turn your marriage around, but even if it ends up not helping, I'm sure you will feel like you gave it your all now and can be at peace with your decision.
I really am hoping this will lead to a new beginning for you and Don!
Liz, I just read the other thread. I'm sorry you have been dealing with this for so long. I'm proud of you for standing up and doing what's best for you and Ivy, and I'm so thankful to read now that Don is open to counseling. You guys will be in my prayers. You're such a wonderful person, beautiful and strong. I know the outcome will be good, Liz. Hang in there.
I am happy he is willing to work on things. Counseling should always be an option. Has he been tested for medical issues such as testosterone (sp?) levels? I would try to rule out medical reasons for his lack of desire as well as working on the relationship. You have needs, and they do need to be filled. Hopefully you guys can get to that place and I wish you nothing but the best.
No matter what, you know that you deserve happiness.
Just saw your first post, haven't been on MS for a few days. I'm glad he is taking you seriously and agreeing to go for help. Lots of P&PT for you guys!
you all are the bestl!!
