Marriage- We did really well in February, although we hit a lull about mid-way through. We must have talked ourselves out for a bit. The goal for this month is to continue to communicate openly.

Family- Deep breaths……breathe……..before speaking. Try not to yell. It worked well for a day or two last month and then back to the norm. I also want to do more fun things with the kids, like crafts and playing outside when the weather warms up.

Friends- I didn’t get together with my closer friend this month, but I did speak to another friend in TX that I haven’t spoken to since before Christmas. I did stay in touch with my other TX friend though. My goal for this month is to continue to keep in touch.

Self- I have been exercising religiously since January. I exercise 6 days a week and on my rest day I do a 10 minute abdominal routine. My goal for this month is to walk everyday, weather permitting, and continue exercising 6 days a week. Increase water intake and continue to try eating healthier.

Home- I haven’t really followed through with any of my goals for this area last month. This month I want to start spring cleaning. Hopefully the weather will warm up and I can tackle the garage.

School- I actually did procrastinate this last semester and felt the effects. For my upcoming semester, I NEED to stay on top of everything because both of my classes are going to be so difficult and writing intensive. NO PROCRASTINATING!!!!

Hobbies- I worked on a Christmas Notebook for a gift, however, I wanted to do more than that. My goal for this month is to make a felt daisy, recover a binder, and sew something, anything….

Spiritual- Once again, this area got put on the back burner. I really need to work on this. I desperately want to get back in tune with my path and learn more about it. This month my goal is to set aside one hour a week to read from one of my books or practice with my cards.

bunnylove I love that so many of you are giving special time for your spouses. I never realized the importance of that and I am now in recovery with my dh after discovering he was having a year-long affair. And (of course) it ruined my Christmas because I discovered receipts the day before and he admitted it the day after. I am following the teachings of Dr. Harley from his website: http://www.marriagebuilders.com
Never forget to give your spouses that extra time every week/month!
~From someone who learned the hard way!

 

[jackfrosty]

wadeallie, how terrible for you. I'm glad to hear things are getting better and thank you for the site. I may look for some of his books, as well.

 

[luludou]

Wadeallie... my thoughts are with you. You can survive!

 

[wadeallie]

Yes..we are surviving, one-day-at-a-time. When one spouse refuses to communicate an unhappiness and looks for an easy way out, it means instant trouble for the marriage. He realized on new Year's Day how much he would lose and he came back. We are in marriage counseling but when she states "communication is key" I also turn to that website for info on the mechanics behind why affairs happen and the steps to recovery.

I always say that life is a roadway and you find solutions to problems (sometimes) even before the problem arises. Like meeting someone and then this is the one person who can solve an issue in your life. It's preordained. I found the OC site in August when dh was first acting bizarre and thanks to all the assistance with organizing my life, and getting ready early, this was the best and most relaxed Christmas I have EVER had! My shopping was finished early, all the decorating went smoothly and I was able to put the extra energy into my marital issues. Thank you for being here!

 

[wadeallie]

***I should clarify..
The Christmas holiday was wonderful prior to discovering dh affair. From then on it wasn't very fun. I do thank you for these sites!!!!
