Glad you got a chuckle out of it.

I am ashamed to say that I ate the poop sandwich for a long time. Never again.

zeta, that's a really good idea! i love making lists anyway, and it might help me to see what the underlying issues are behind the many surface complaints.

our counseling session is tonight!

i would tell myself to leave the past in the past. sometimes, we wonder about people and have that need to know how they are doing and how they turned out. i would say, just keep wondering and hope they are okay.

oh lord!!! i will NEVER be able to eat another pb sandwich ever again - the literal kind - without being reminded of this association.

with just a few words my world of pb is changed forever!!!!

be brutally honest.

there is no other way around it. you cant gently tell a person that you are done. polite and kind yes - but honesty is needed.

if you are DONE he needs to hear that. so that he can move on with his life. however be careful. make sure he doesnt take his anger or resentment against you in a practical way. anger and resentment will happen. things will get ugly.

but if there is no chance of fixing he needs to hear that. whether he will actually be able to 'hear' that or not is totally up to him. nothing to do with you.

thanks everyone! i posted about our counseling session in p.a.p. - it was weird. and i completely failed, you guys are not going to be impressed, lol.

meemee, it's not that i want to say "it's over". just that i feel like the marriage i want/need is so far away from what we have, that asking for that is basically the same as saying it's over. i mean, i guess i want our current relationship to be over, and i want a functional marriage with dh. or he can walk. but apparently i have a total inability to say these things.

This made me laugh so hard. I love it.
