I understand your feelings well, my husband is a "fixer"... sometimes things don't need fixing but maybe we could talk it out... he's an engineer. Enough said. I love him dearly.

Over the years .. all 27 nearly 28 .. I have often felt that if I'd committed murder I'd be out on parole now ... But something keeps me here ... Can't for the life of me think what ... probably because the real women meme is occupying most of the functioning grey matter ....riseoutofmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900369522350465257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-53736237908661808112007-04-13T22:32:00.000+10:002007-04-13T22:32:00.000+10:00I'm smiling at this post Meggie.

When I worked full time, and mine had a day off he would visit me at lunch and do something similar, and much as I love him and appreciated the gesture, I resented it deep down. That was my territory, and how dare he move in on it. My insecurities perhaps..?<BR/>I am unable to do the same for him now I don't work, because of the job he does, yet I know if I did I would be welcomed with open arms and shown around and introduced..<BR/>Mine doesn't think twice about buying a new car, and yet has a garage full of crap that he NEEDS, and yet isn't worth the storage space IMHO !<BR/>Won't go out if it's cold or wet, unless it's to golf...<BR/>I guess that's why we love 'em. Next year will be our 40th..!<BR/>hugs<BR/>xxSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731396546695910306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-65131639052993197182007-04-13T20:51:00.000+10:002007-04-13T20:51:00.000+10:00I can empathise with the stifled feeling.

My son loves playing with his friends at childcare so I usually have an hour or so to myself before I pick him up. That hour or so has become precious alone time.<BR/><BR/>Now my partner has been on holidays for the past two weeks and it is great to have him home but I do feel like I'm never alone and it is stifling!caramaenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424093087905485630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-16197929654632040482007-04-13T16:30:00.000+10:002007-04-13T16:30:00.000+10:00I can empathise, Meggie.

Mine is analytical and logical and taciturn---unless the subject is golf, or rockets, or politics---but taciturn on the things I want to talk about!

Every woman, or at least every married woman knows it. To be fair, I think they find us strange too. It's a wonder any marriages last. We will be married 43 years this July. I can hardly believe it's been that long.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.com
