View LOVE2RUN's food & exercise for this day
When does love cease to be love and starts becoming strangulation? He's my love, he's my life and I couldn't survive a single day without him; but he's choking me.
I'm independent. Very. I had to be; he left me sitting in the corner when I was large. He loved me then; but in a different way. I was as insignificant as a piece of furniture. He liked having me around because I served a purpose. Wife, mother and lover. He desperately loves me now and treats me like fragile glass that could break at any minute. What he doesn't realize is that if you squeeze the glass to tight...it breaks. Leaving shards of broken glass embedded into the skin and blood dripping from the hands.
I was alone, in the corner and I didn't like it. I found my own way out and now he is terrified I'm looking for a way out of the relationship. I don't want out, I just want to breath.

Men are competitive! They live, breath, eat, competition. We do what we do for us, or for those we love, and the two sexes are complimentary, and adversarial, long live the difference! He is struggling to adjust. Mine is too, but it is the adjustment of having a wife that looks like the one he married, and really is not, because change is part of maturation, and marriages mature.

You know, Susan, I had the same problem with my husband when I lost all of my weight. In fact, he had someone he knew TELL him to look out because when HIS wife lost weight & got healthy, she left him for another guy. So, my husband was REALLY concerned that I was preparing myself to leave him. We addressed it, I reassured him and then over time he realized that I did it for ME, and it had nothing to do with him. Maybe you guys need some counseling to address this? Learning how to deal with each other in your new skin?
