    I confess I bought lots of stuff for my stocking today including a pair of leg warmers. I wore some last week for curling and got funny looks but I know I can convince the frumps that leg warmers are awesome

    I confess that these boards have been a nice escape for me this week.

    My marriage is going down the drain and I feel like a failure. I've asked him to go to counselling and he rufuses.When I ask him a question his response is always "I don't know." We barely talk and when we do it turns into an argument half the time. In our last fight, he said he is going to move out as soon as he has the money.

    I not looking forward to Christmas and having to make up an excuse when my family asks why husband isn't there.

    Keep spending his money. That'll show him. Lock him in for life.

    Then take him for a ride in a hearse.

    First of all "HUGS".. <3

    This sounds like a terrible situation to be in at this time off the year or any part of the year for that matter.. I cannot offer much, other than to say hang in there and I hope it all works out for the best for "you".

    Im sorry love..but try to think of it as a new phase in your life ..One where you can spread your wings and do as you please. Moving on and being happy is the best revenge.
    I know it will be tough for a bit ..but believe me at some point down the track you will realise it was the best thing that happened to you .

    Big hugs ..

    Awww I'm sorry you're going through this. Try to enjoy your holiday and be honest with your family. Them them your husband is being a douche. I'm sure they'll support you

    All of his money goes towards loans and pain pills. I pay for everything except the water and electric. Some months he misses even that.
    Then take him for a ride in a hearse.

    He has battled with depression for years. I'm afraid I will come home one day and find him dead. It terrifies me.

    On a more positive note

    I must confess the Darkfever Series by Karen Marie Morning is addictive. I finishes the 2nd book in two days.

    I just made a shadowbox with my grandpa. The corners don't fit together very well, and I'm pretty bummed about it, but I don't want to tell him.

    that's awesome

    so what if it's not perfect? life ain't perfect either.

    keep it the way it is and just remember the time you spent with him; it's priceless

    I just wanted to make it look good. Even if I end up redoing it, I'll probably keep the original though, you're right. But it's his present anyway, so if he's happy with it, that's all that matters :)

    awesome.

    you've already given him the best gift that he could ask for;that is: His time with you

    ...and who could blame him for being thrilled with someone as bright, pretty and charming as you?

    It's like watching the same episode of Seinfeld again and again and again.

    You mean they made more than the one episode?

    4 years ago, my life was torn apart from some pretty tragic stuff, and it ended in my ex and I splitting. My family knew what was happening and they carried me through the holidays that first year. There is no need to make excuses, tell them the truth. They should support you with tons of hugs, shoulders to cry on and ears to listen with. I wish you the best of luck.
