Up On The Watershed....

Relationship happiness...

04/01/2009

So... I dont know why I'm making a diary again.. b/c I worry I wont keep it up again..
but here goes...
So, I am scheduled to be married on June 13th 2009, almost two months away
I am not excited
I should be excited
but I am not
I mean, I love Isaac, I really really do
he is a great guy
but....
we just have nothing in common, he is a chemist, I am a horseback riding instructor and Naturalist, really, what do we have in common, I LOVE nature and the birds, and creatures... ect.. and well, Isaac, while he likes those things, dosnt love them like I do and he dosnt get excited like I do, I just want us to be able to share exciting things together...
and the sex......
ok, wait...
there is no sex......
I mean, he always has some kind of excuse, i would at LEAST liek to have sex once a week, but he thinks that is an unrealistic expectation.. at this point, today I dont think we have had sex for at least a month and a half, if not two months... we didnt even have valentines day sex OR birthday sex, I mean, HONESTLY
I just tried to have a relationship conversation with him b/c lately I have been trying to be more romatic with him like leaving him little notes, or emails just to break up the day or whatever...
and when I asked him if he got my email today he said, yeah..
and I said, you didnt even send one back, he couldnt even hit reply and type "I love you", I mean, seriously...
and I left him a note when I went away last month for a few days, and we used to leave notes in each other's luggage if the other one of us went away, and he didnt do that either.
I donno.. I feel like I'm being bitchy, but I really need more from our relationship
I mean, he does make me dinners, and he does support me mostly when I need it
and he is paying for our wedding/honeymoon
I feel so selfish, but I just need more
I'm worried that I'm going to have to look elsewhere for sex...
and part of me wants to tell him that, b/c I think it might make him wake up a bit, but the other part of me dosnt want to hurt him, but it IS the reality.... and I DO think about having a "trist" or whatever, I mean, there are lots of guys on craigslist afterall.....
I just dont want to be in a dead end relationship in 5 years... he just isnt trying, and I dont think he understands that you have to try in a relationship, you cant just let it be stagnant...
I just see those girls on the wedding shows and they are SO excited about getting married, and I'm not.

So, I gues the question, if anyone actually reads this is... have you been married, have you had the same fears before getting married, or was your relationsip always super fun and exciting, and you never had issues....
I'm scared to get married... I'm scared to break up, in one way I'm settling, but honestly, isnt it just ok to settle and not REALLY be happy ... I mean, I'm kind of happy most of the time... maybe I'm becomming depressed...

hey there.. yes, I have read you.

Im married... I, the great marriage phobe got married finally at the grand old age of 36.

I definately had some of those fears.. for sure. No relationship is super fun and exciting all the time. that just isnt real.

but- if you are just not happy now... if you guys cant find any common ground now- values, your love for one another.. general stuff... maybe you need to address that before you marry.

you dont have to be the same. thats boring. but you need to be looking forward together!

While I don't think you should break up, you might want to postpone the wedding, and try to settle these problems before you get married. I, myself have never been married, but I know for one if I were to get married, it'd have to be with somebody I was truly happy with. It doesn't seem to me like you're happy at all. Maybe try couple's therapy or something? Trial separation, maybe? Something so that you can see if he's really the man you want to spend the rest of your life with.

I hope everything works out for the best, take care, hon.

ryn: he's been in Iraq for 4.5 months. not long to go now, its a 6 month deployment.

what made me get married after all that time? the realisation that my issues were exactly that; MY issues.
that I was happy with him, and over the years we have been through a lot together and we still like each other
its sorta hard to explain; if we have issues, its not a closed book, its something for us to try to find common ground on. IF we need to.
I wasnt going anywhere, and we are better people together.
thats a lot of it.
i have never been with someone I felt i could be so me with, and that I felt there was so much potential with, even tho we know each other so well.

and i know he feels the same.

does that make sense?

and our temperments match pretty well. im a bit of a spitfire, whereas he is laid back within our relationship. I really have to be horrible to get a response.

and... we dig each other. after all these years I will stop to look at his butt if he strolls by naked
and i know he thinks im the hottest thing on 2 legs

well i havent read u b4. I have been with my bf jason for over 6 years and we have things in common and not in common a lot. I love horses and have gotten jason into that and dogs. Its been his idea for us to get a horse at the farm i work at yay. I do hope that u r able to talk to isaac to let him know whats bothering you. I know its great ur getting married and hes paying for things, but that shouldnt be why u marry him. I hope for the best with u and isaac. Take care and Have a great day.
Love,
Jess

I agree with J♥me. You might want to maybe just postpone the wedding at first. See if you guys can work things out. You definitely should talk to Isaac about this. Don't just leave him a note; get him to sit down and talk to you. He probably doesn't realise how serious the situation is.
You don't want to get married and be stuck in an unhappy relationship. It wouldn't be fair to either one of you.

I really, really hope you can work things out.
Good luck!!

I wouldn't worry too much about not having anything in common, at least "on paper" my husband and I have completely different personalities but we get along. As for the lack of sex, it seems to me that you're talking about two different things, one is the sweaty, crazy act of fucking and the other one is intimacy. Every couple goes through dry spells (trust me, I'll be married 7 years in August!) but what you can't do away with is intimacy. Whether it's giving each other a back rub, or just holding hands when you go out, that stuff is super important.

If I were you, I'd talk to him about this. Confront him and be honest. Good luck!
