Married Ladies Random Thoughts

It's been 3 months since the wedding and I'm only now sitting down to do the thank you cards. I know you're suppose to write personalized messages thanking people for specific gifts, etc. I don't have time for that. I have homework -- school starts on Monday and unpacking -- just moved to a new city this week. I'm just going to keep it basic. :look: :thud:

I wrote personalized messages for my thank you's and I don't think it's always necessary. I'm sure they will appreciate the card regardless. And I've gotten thank you cards a year after the wedding so please don't feel bad for waiting 3 months.
 
People who love you and want you to be happy will understand. A quick thank you note is better than none at all. A lot of people never send thank you's, and to be honest, I remember stuff like that :look:, especially if they don't even call, text, or nothing. Then I'm like cool:look:, won't be wasting my time and money next time. But a quick thank you so much is fine and appreciated.

I'm big on thank yous. I want to say I sent out about 90% of my thank you cards but once my in laws got sick I didn't bother with the rest. Hope they forgive us.
 
Update sooo this entire week was HELL. Hubby and I finally calmed down enough to talk yesterday. We had one of those hard discussions that went beyond just the rumor stuff. Sooo I have stuff I need to work and so does he. But we are on the same page as far as "doing the work".

Soooo the devil is trying to break me y'all. I have known for a while I was getting laid do restructuring and my department being outsourced. I applied for an position internally and found out on Friday that I didn't get because I don't have the required experience. Which is annoying as hell. I'm trying to switch from internal audit to corporate accounting and I keep hearing the same thing! I was even willing to take a pay cut in order to get the position. Sooo after the end of the month I am out of a job (I have applied to other positions externally as well, and didn't get those either for the same reason).

Sooo this morning I'm leaving to go to church and I go into basement and I'm looking around like I know I didn't leave all this stuff in the basement, not even realizing my basement door was open. Someone broke into our house (I may have accidentally left the key in the door. I can't remember for sure). They stole some of husbands clothes that was in a suit case, emptied my backpack and took that, my brand new pair of sneakers that I just wore yesterday and on top of that stole my damn car and my keys!! my neighbors has a camera and after looking at the footage it happened between 630am and 8am. Who steals a car and comes into someone house when it's light out! The worst part of it all is I was up since 7am! I'm just thankful because there are plenty of nights we sleep in the basement on the couch. Either one of us could have been downstairs.

Soo my morning was spent filing police reports, filing an insurance claim, and changing the locks because this jerks have my house keys.

I knows material but I literally had 6 payments left on the car and now I have to start over if the car is not found. So now I have no car and no job. how did I lose both in 2 days?? I just want to crawl in the bed and die. I'm praying next week brings something better.

Sorry for the long post.

I pray that The Lord renews your strength and fills you with his spirit to overcome each obstacle in your path job-wise and with your possessions being stolen. This has been such a rough weekend for you and I am sooo sorry :( I hope it gets better!
 
Lol DH took DS to his bowling league meeting. DS has just learned how to baby talk and all he did was talk the whole time to his daddy. He's such a daddy's boy. It's so cute to me. It makes me want to :naughtycouch:And have another one. :look:
 
@Taleah2009 it gets verrrrry hard to do when there are so many things going wrong, but don't lose your praise. This all could be happening to draw you and DH closer together having to go through the break/in, car loss, and job loss to show that the two of you can figure anything out together and give y'all that confidence. Prayers for you during this trying time.

We're here for you to vent. I'm glad you and DH calmed down enough to finally hash it all out.

I am up for a great promotion at work, and DH has been great in calming me during the process. He makes good money doing what he loves, and my career is steadily progressing in ways I didn't plan or know I wanted. Then, I get to reading about other folks lives and start doubting mine... just like that the scripture for the sermon yesterday and the Daily InTouch from Charles Stanley spoke a word to me about about comparing my life. I know better.
 
So, I received a call asking if I wanted to move my consult up because they had a few cancellations and could take me earlier than I'd scheduled. Of course I would; waiting another week was going to give me a heart attack because I am so excited and anxious.

When I arrived, everyone was so friendly! Just smiling and helpful for no reason. I filled out 75 forms (not quite, but almost), waited 15 minutes and went back for the consult. **While waiting, my husband picked up a photo album of before and afters. I slapped his hand and made him put it back. He is way too silly to look through that album in that quiet office**

Weight, height, change into a hospital gown. The doctor comes in and asked what procedure I wanted to get and why. I told him that I desperately need lipo and contouring because I look like I'm melting. He laughs really loud and asked me to stand up and take off the gown. My husband is very attentive at this point. He looks, touches, pokes and says, "You don't have enough fat for lipo. I can do it but it would be a waste of money." He showed me an area on both thighs near my knees that have a little fat to suction but that was about it. What in the blue blazes is he talking about?!! What is all this, then?!! I must have looked terribly sad because he then says, "What you really need is a tummy tuck. Have you lost weight recently?" I explained that I'd lost 35 pounds over the past 18 months. He grabbed a big hunk of my stomach and says, "See? This is not fat at all. This is loose skin left from your weight lost." He did the same with my back. He said, "Yes a tummy tuck would fix everything" and began drawing all over my body. I looked like a 3D tic-tac-toe. He then asked, "No interest in the breast?" My husband is shaking his head no so hard, I thought it would come off. I like my breast as well so I said no. So then, he pushes them up and asks, "Sure?" Um, no. I don't want my titties under my chin - I'm good. Wait. Is it free? It's not free? Ok, then no.

So we talk about costs, recovery time, blah, blah, blah. I'm all ready to set an appointment for the procedure and he says that he asks all patients to wait 48 hours after the consult before making an appointment. It is a life changing procedure and 48 hours gives patients time to soak it all in. That was interesting. I will wait. So as we leave, this Caucasian lady comes strutting in. She must be coming in for a follow-up. She looked so plastic!! Yuck. Face, body, hair, everything was custom made - she looked terrible. I never want all that. Why would a sane person want that?! Just a little touch up is all any lady needs but honey, you could not tell Miss Thing that she isn't hot. No man would look at her and say, "She is beautiful!" Any comments would be X-rated and appalling.

Amen! Looks are deceiving.
 
How did your husband feel about the consulation @Bad&Bougee ?

Glad the doc is giving you honest info.

I'm glad he (Dr) did too. The Dr did a great job of calming my nerves and explaining the proedure. DH had a great time, asked questions (more about recovery than anything else) and seemed to be relieved. I'm not enhancing anything and he really began to understand that once the consultation began. We are both excited.

He had one question for me afterwards - "Do I have to take that Michael Kors dress back?" Heck no! I'm really going to look sexy in it now! I can't wait.

Be safe. Wishing you a safe procedure and a speedy recovery.

I'm so sorry to hear about all of this. It really does pour when it rains sometimes. :( You've got this, though, no matter what.

No ma'am, you can't crawl into bed and let that Snake know that he defeated you. Get some sage/holy water or even better have your Pastor pray over your home (if possible). We must first fortify our homes and cleanse our spirits if we expect to defeat the serpent and all his trickery. You will be okay. Right now you are caught in the middle of an assault, and you know it's him because he stopped you from going to Church. He makes me sick because he is always waiting and looking for a vulnerable moment in our lives to attack.

Having your home invaded takes a little while to get beyond. I hate you and DH have to go through all that. Everything just dumps at one time and becomes unbearable but this is where the significance of having DH comes in. You have someone to fight with against all of this. Help each other get through this situation together and see how the bond between the two of you strengthens. You and DH are in my prayers. Stay strong and hold on.

I had a tummy tuck almost two years ago. I had twins and was left with diastasis recti. My recovery was uncomfortable, but not painful. I agonized over whether or not to have the procedure for years. I'm so glad I had it done.

DH is such a workaholic. It's like he can't take a break for a few days. He's always thinking "what if we need this:rolleyes:" but we're in a great place financially so I think he needs to chill. He's going to work himself into the ground.

Thank you sooo much for your encouragement! We are being battle tested but we will get through this!
 
Prayers please...had another fight with my husband...sigh.. I always feel so dumb even speaking of it but it feels so unnatural to hold in..
fighting with him is one of the worst feelings i've ever felt... i don't know if I'm too invested.. I don't know what to do. My mother was always submissive so I guess I'm super submissive because I got it from her.. love her but wish I had a stronger, less emotional woman to look up to..like one of the women on this board... times like these I just don't know what to do or if I'm supposed to be feeling the way I am.
Long story but basically we were play fighting and I guess it went too far and he got angry..didn't realize he was angry cuz he was laughing. Gave me his ring and dropped me off at my mom's. Now he's not answering my calls and I've texted him about a thousand times telling him I'm sorry and I love him and he's not responding, also forwarding my calls and I can't help but cry...I'm just a weak woman. I just wanna sit here and drink up. :cry2:Please don't quote
 
@melahnee, if you don't mind my asking how old are you and your husband? I'm asking because he sounds very immature. I don't know what specifically made things go from "play fighting" to him dropping you off at your mother's house and him not returning your calls, but that is not the way marriage works. If the two of you are truly living as a married couple, under the same roof, then he has no choice but to see you and talk to you.
 
@melahnee I hope you are able to resolve this present conflict.
I think you shouldn't do the play fighting thing ever again, with some men, it doesn't end well because they don't know when to stop.
I remember you from previous posts on this thread, usually married women try to encourage each other about marriage but I am concerned about your husband and I hope you are able to build a relationship that nurtures you... instead of continuously calling him, can you step back and try to clear your head. Step back and see what he does?
Whatever you decide to do, take care of yourself, physically and emotionally. Hugs
 
@melahnee there is nothing wrong with being submissive or any adjective a woman uses to describe herself, all you need is to be with a man who compliments you and is willing to build a happy life with you.
I am uneasy that you appear to be taking all the blame for this fight as if he didn't do anything wrong, because with time you will get tired of being sorry, its not the best way to resolve matters. after all you weren't play fighting all by yourself. I don't have definite answers for you but I wish you well and hope you are able to find happiness in your marriage and also be self assured.
 
@melahnee
(((Hugs)))
Use this time to work on you and become stronger. It's hard to be in a healthy relationship if you feel weak and don't know how to be strong for you. Please don't text him anymore. Focus on you right now, what you want, and what you need. He had some nerve taking you away from your home. He sounds controlling and like he thinks he's the boss of the relationship.
