    For whatever reason , he has still not made his way to the Den . He’s just up here in living room still . Watching tv with me , sleeping on the couch . Like in limbo . Maybe waiting on my clear cut decision. I’m not making any moves yet . I have not told him to do anything like in the past where it was too hard and hurtful to see him , of all the things I was about to lose .
    This time I just don’t care enough to have him move himself . The big convos of WHY and what now are over .
    The problem with this is no decision has been made out loud. I think he thinks he can keep it , I’ll stay in the relationship and nothing changed . PROOF : last night he was actually joking with me like we used to but cocky . I then had to say “ we are not in a place where you can joke with me like that ( sugar was low so I ate a few of his chicken tenders , his response to that “IM GLAD I COULD make YOU dinner “then I ate one of his cookies and he said “I’m glad I helped save your life “) aww poor man’s feelings got hurt with my response lol .
    His response “ well I’ve been staying quiet , or I’m at work , I won’t say another word “
    I really don’t know WTF he thinks is going to happen. I said status quo for now on Tues . Which was very little communication. This man baffles me .

    What a weird ass dream . In the dream I asked if I could kiss him to see if I felt anything. I felt nothing other than I wanted sex from him . That says a lot about my huge heart . It’s been preparing itself for a long time . The dream then went into us being swingers lol . I took that as my plan of him keeping it and me moving on while living here

    If I can see how invested you still are in him, he can see it too.

    Welll the Lied To , just became the liar . I don’t know how ppl lie so easily . The lies tasted horrible coming out . I will be in a fake “ relationship “ . I literally will give none of myself . At least I’ll have health insurance. That’s the MOST important right now .

    I lied and said I didn’t tell anyone ( so things aren’t weird w family gatherings )
    I lied and said we can be one step above status quo ( I am not inwardly )
    I lied and said we can start to build a different relationship slowly ( I have NO intentions on investing any of my feelings or heart into this , by different I’m only here for health insurance and a roof over my lol )
    I am NOT lying to MYSELF anymore . I know what this is /was . Only now the “fake” will be on my end . For however long it takes me to heal my foot enough to get a FT job . It’s going to hard but without this marriage I absolutely can not afford health insurance

    But why are you lying about that? Do you think if you tell him the truth he will leave you?

    No , but definitely make my life very awkward and uncomfortable in the home and I honestly just want peace . He pouts like a child when he doesn’t get what he wants lol I have made multiple plans outside of the house coming up without him . My focus will be ME . People shift their relationships all the time . If we just coexist my kids will feel it and I don’t want that for THEM . I know he’ll never change that’s clear , and for the first time I actually don’t want him to I’m not fighting for him to . I don’t know if any of that makes sense to you . Other than this we have a nice life that I can very easily keep while filling my own life with things that have zero to do with him . I will not become bitter I will not be hardened by this just he’s not gonna get any of the love He truly doesn’t deserve who I am and who I’ve been. I will very easily forgive him for myself

    How old are your kids? Do they know about his addictIon and actions? One of my requirements once we discovered it was an addiction was that he had to talk to the kids about it. My reason was not to shame him,but I wanted to know he was serious about recovery and I will not hide things from my kids. I was not going to enable him in his addiction. Since recovery meant he needed to go to sa meetings and counseling, and I needed to go to counseling and then an intensive, it would
    mean lying to the kids about where he was going and what he was doing as( as well as me)we knew this was going to be a long term thing. I refused to do that. But, my kids are older and I had already talked about porn use when they were younger. The awesome thing about him telling the kids? They are incredibly open about their relationships, my daughter realized her boyfriend was a porn addict and broke up with him, my son began closely monitoring any movies/shows we watched. It also showed my husband he WAS loved in spite of his addiction. He was terrified to tell the kids, absolutely terrified. It also showed the kids the difference in a father who is in recovery versus one who is not. Overall, I believe the biggest obstacle to recovery is hiding the addiction and enabling the addict. I want my husband clean no matter the cost. Because it’s what’s best for everyone.

  18. He likely notices the difference in you this time. His addict side just wants to play it cool and ride it out as if everything will eventually blow over and get back to how things were (denial). That way he doesn't have to do anything differently now. However, there's a small part of him that's noticing how you haven't gone into crisis/fix it mode this time, and that part is probably worried that your behavior this time might mean everything actually won't go back to 'normal.' So, he has to try to push you a little...get you back into the game.

    THAT makes perfect sense !!!
    Me : “ Why do you keep poking the bear
    Him : I’m usually quiet
    Me : So it’s either gonna be quiet or jabs there’s nowhere in the middle
    Him : I guess I don’t know how to be with this
    Me : how bout try maturity
    Him : I’ll try to be more mindful

    great ! Cut to an hour later my son asked what time my EEG Is , dickhead says “ maybe they’ll tell you your crazy “
    I said very softly : MAYBE CUZ YOU MADE ME THIS WAY

    So ya I think he’s trying to get me angry since anger is an emotion. Not doing it . That shows I care . I just have to keep doing what I’m doing I’m not fighting not arguing with him anymore . But If he keeps this up I’m really not gonna try to keep the peace in the house just not I’ll give him one final fuck off lol

    I saw this quote today and it really is so profound yet simple <3

    “Even the strongest
    feelings expire when
    ignored and taken
    for granted.”
