Well I had taken a break after the ex., but I'm starting to be interested in men again. I really miss masculine affection.
Some of my friends are out tonight at clubs, but I couldn't get myself to go. I don't know, just thought there's too much on my mind and thought I wouldn't have that much fun. Lacking motivation here. And I'd having nothing to wear. And I can't afford to get my hair done. And I have no money.
How is it possible to have friends and still be lonely? What I'd really like to do tonight is just light candles all over the house and cuddle with someone all night long. And talk, and have sex, and play around...Then cuddle all night long. And not get out of bed in the morning. I miss sleeping on a man's chest.I always sleep on my side cuddled up to my bf, arm around him, leg wrapped around him, with my head rested on his chest. That's my favorite way to sleep.
There's this man who works at the grocery store I frequent that I think is really really sweet and sooo cute. He makes the pizzas and stuff behind the counter at the wood-fired oven. He was working tonight, and I had thought about going over and ordering something to talk to him, but changed my mind. I did catch him smiling at a little girl tonight. He has a prosthetic arm, and I wonder if he got hurt in the war. When he first started working there, he seemed to have a lot on his mind. He seems a lot happier now. I have that connection feeling when I see him.
Does everyone do that? I mean, do you pick people out and see something special in them, or have a connection type feeling with total strangers? I do that all the time. Not as much lately as I used to, but I am starting to do that again.

And then sometimes I think who would want to date someone like me anyway...someone on the verge of bankruptcy, anxiety and mental health issues, recently out of a relationship with a sex addict/narcissist, dysfunctional family.
My ex was mean to me about my family, always making subtle comments about the lack of support by my parents, and always gloating about how wonderful his ex wife's family was. That always hurt me. It's not like I just happened to be absent from school the day you go in and pick your family.

Phillippa--calm down! While it's perfectly reasonably to feel scared, you are having benzo fear. Think rationally-get a hold of yourself!!
Find a new PDoc--have your husband call around.
It's going to be ok--really!!!!

He won't says it's my resonsibility. Can't he understand I can't? Why does he hate me so much. He said if he knew I'd get sick he wouldn't have married me. I didn't even want to get married. Just live together. Love Phillipa

Hon, I'm so sorry that your husband is not being supportive. That is def. a deal breaker...how horrible. F*ck him!!! Kick his *ss out the door!!!
I know it takes 2 to tango, but really. That is totally unacceptable. A_L_I_M_O_N_Y.
This really pisses me off!!!
What about your son's? Could one of them help you out right now? A sister? A neighbor? You do need support...

"I didn't even want to get married. Just live together."
See, that's why I never got married, even though I had a kid. I've had engagement rings presented to me too...I take those vows very seriously..In sickness and in health..yea right! It needs to be reciprocated. If your husband had, say, a terminal illness--would you be there for him in totality?
