Ami-It bothers me, too. There...Thank you, Fern. :)<br /><br />Ami-It bothers me, too. There is such a big difference in an occasional venting to a dear friend, because you're needing advice or strength, but to have it be the topic of nearly every conversation is heartbreaking. I think I must be a little old fashioned, too. :) Congratulations on your 31 years! You're definitely doing something right! :)<br /><br />Judy...I have to tell you, it seems weird to see my name up there posting like that! Hope you find your way back for a visit, and I hope you found the boxes you needed! :)Confessions of a Closet Hoarder but you can call me Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618687581973592183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-26871027377702745232011-08-26T09:00:22.091-06:002011-08-26T09:00:22.091-06:00Crystal-thanks. :) You're right.

It's impossible to help someone who doesn't want help.<br /><br />Tiffany-Have you ever noticed it almost becomes a contest between people to see who can be the most negative? :(<br /><br />Sleep deprivation will do that, won't it, Shelly?

Most of the time, these women not only chose to marry him, but to have him be the father of her children.<br /><br />So it's her job to build him up. To make him happy to be hers.<br /><br />Old fashioned? Dunno. But at nearly 31 years married, it's working just fine for us.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353667980806676067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-29353854206197309592011-08-23T20:07:41.570-06:002011-08-23T20:07:41.570-06:00a tough thing to recognise , I am so glad you did....a tough thing to recognise , I am so glad you did. well said start to finishSherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-78141645618735435502011-08-23T15:30:46.542-06:002011-08-23T15:30:46.542-06:00You are very together to realise how this negativi...You are very together to realise how this negativity was affecting you and your own relationship.<br /><br />I rib my husband and I have my complaints, but generally I am happy and I think he is too.<br /><br />However, we did go through a bad patch and coincidentally it was when I was suffering from sleep deprivation from my youngest son's newborn stage. I remember my SIL visiting and she too was having problems with my BIL. It was a venting session x 2 and I can see now that the negativity feeds on itself. <br /><br />Sadly, my SIL has divorced my BIL. For us, I got some sleep and things are much better now, and I don't think I would vent like that again. At least I hope I would never the need to (not to that extent anyway).Shelly - Tropical Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464868349672755774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-75796130334538649492011-08-23T15:30:02.527-06:002011-08-23T15:30:02.527-06:00I was just thinking about how negativity is SO vir...I was just thinking about how negativity is SO viral, and how it roots itself into people. Good for you for realizing what you need to do and taking the steps necessary to ensure that negativity doesn't adversely affect you and your marriage.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393715314064217149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-79676285903749111202011-08-23T15:10:19.173-06:002011-08-23T15:10:19.173-06:00Wow.

I'm someone who has a hard time saying 'no' to people and not helping etc. etc., so I can imagine how hard it must be to have to keep away from people who need help because they drag YOU down. I really admire the way you've stood up for your marriage like this. It's a hard choice, but I think we all have to do that from time to time. I know I've had to let go, or distance myself from certain friends because their self-destructive behaviour was hurting ME so much. It was the hardest lesson I've ever had to learn, but you can't help someone who doesn't want help. <br /><br />HUGE kudos to you! :-)Crystalhttp://littlebundleofcontradictions.comnoreply@blogger.com
