Anybody want to admit their marriage is not all roses and rainbows?

Hello all. Wow, this thread is still going? I'm sorry to see so many people feeling like I have, but even more sorry that alot of you have been married for a good while and feeling like this for that long.

I decided after posting and feeling like a putz, that I had to talk about it and make him see, also I needed to understand myself. Maybe I was missing something.

After a long Saturday and night and Sunday morning, we did it! We finally see where the other is coming from. And, I with all of my heart believe it.

Honestly, I can deal with the sport and gambling thing (because I do have some sort of a hold and say in it), it was the emotional disconnect and lack of attention except where sex was concerned, that was making me crazy. I knew I couldn't last thinking that it was only about sex.

Turns out, we all have different ways of showing love and I was totally missing it.

I've been around long enough to know when I'm being told a story or it's the honest truth and this was it, I saw emotions from him that I've never seen.

I can handle squabbles and fights and bad attitudes, I just couldn't handle not feeling loved.

By no means am a professional, but if anyone needs to chat or vent or whatnot, pm me, cuz I am a good listener.
