Thursday, Mar 22 2007 - So tempted
View NIKKI8's food & exercise for this day
I just want to eat an entire cake right now. An entire cake!! I made a chocolate cake for my son's birthday and I just want to dive into it. It's because of my husband. Things were better for a few weeks. We were getting along so well. I felt so hopeful. Then things got bad this week again. He's working very long hours. He's crabby with me, snaps at me, makes me feel stupid. This weekend I attempted to stand up for myself and set limits on his behavior. It only made things worse. I can't stand this roller coaster-ups and downs. I know this is normal in a marriage, but I hate it. He's good in so many ways Fantastic father. I really appreciate him. But when he's in these moods, everyone is miserable and I don't want my kids to grow up catering to his moods. I think writing about this has only made me want to binge more. It was supposed to help. Okay, I'm going to have a pudding snack and go to bed. I'm exhausted. I will work off my frustration at the gym tomorrow and leave the rest in God's hands. There's nothing else I can do right now. And binging will only make me feel 100 times worse.

Nikki: Marriage is SO tough! Sometimes I think it's impossible. Ashli may be right...maybe he is depressed or has some other clinical diagnosis. You have to get and be healthy no matter what his MOOD! Don't eat. Work it off. You will feel so much better about yourself.
:y: Hugs babe!

Nikki--This is not OK and not normal. Yes, we all have our moody times. But if he's excessively snapping at you and making your feel stupid, I think that is abusive. It's absolutely NOT Ok for him to treat you like that and make you and the kids feel like they have to walk on egg shells around him. If he's generally a great guy, have you considered that he may be clinically depressed (I say that based on some other things you've said, not just what you wrote today). I'd love it if he could get some help for that so you both could be happier. Please don't let him treat you badly. Please. It's not good for any of you. I will pray for you both (((HUGS)))). Ashli
