Anniversary

LostinSpaceandTime's picture

Five Year Anniversary was yesterday. The day went ok for the most part. A couple of days before SD texted DH to watch GS1 while she works on Sunday. If I had not been sitting right next to him I think he would have forgotten that it is our five year Anniversary. He texted her to say it was our Anniversary and we have plans. He could help another time. The last he heard from her was her texting in a whinny guilt trip tone of text ( if tone is even possible in text) , " I gotta find someone to watch baby on Sunday or I can't work". This is after she has Sd30 watch the kid for her to work a double shift on Saturday. And the last we heard from that one was that he was throwing up. Great. Did any one wish us a happy Anniversary ? No. We end up having words over the skids again. He is still so defensive.
The SD 30,who is the mental criminal who made my life hell and started this downward spiral between DH and me, also is still texting DH about a million times a day complaining about something. Saying her therapist almost put her in the hospital the other night at her counseling session. Her guilt trip text said" I don't need to go out to eat. I needed a place to stay where people could look out for me.". This In reference to DH trying to get her to see him. And to when she lived here for 5 wks and I had to force her out. Wtf. Did she think daddy was going to take care of her? Or that I was? What is the deal with these princesses that fail to grow up? She doesn't even know how to hang a picture on the wall by herself. Or when to clean up the cat litter or how often to wash her sheets and clean her bathroom. And the stupid bitch says by text she is overdosing on laxatives to lose weight, and DH doesn't think she abuses substances.
So even though I am disengaging from them they still manage to screw up my Anniversary. When I say as much to DH he says I don't know that is what they are trying to do. Whatever. Anniversary, Sunday, weekend, day.....any of it with them in any part of it or even the thought of them messes it up.
I woke up the morning of my Anniversary and DH was not in bed with me. He went out on the couch bc he couldn't sleep. He didn't come back in even in the morning to snuggle. But he had time to text back and forth with SD30. And time for a bunch of text at the end of the night too. The sick affair by text with his grown D is disgusting. I just want to be done with it all. It was not anything like this when I got together with him. Nothing at all. I had no idea the SD' s would do the things they have done.
He did spend time with me on our anniversary, he was loving and even gave a back rub. And a lovely card. We had already picked some furniture for our bedroom as our gift this year.
I am feeling so numb and distant from him most days and resentful of what he allowed to happen to our marriage and me that I ended up not buying him a new card and regiving him a card from three years ago. He didn't even notice. Guess there is a reason I save stuff.
I just feel down and alone and isolated lately. Need to rally and move on with things I want to do. I'll see my GD soon. That will help.
Just hope 'they' don't manage to spoil that visit with their annoying stalker texting of DH. Maybe I will block their phones for the weekend. Should have done it for the Anniversary. My birthday is this week, maybe that would be a nice present to myself.

There are sacred times in a relationship, one of them is a anniversary celebration, another is when you are making love, would he stop and answer the phone then? If my bf did that, he would be unable to enjoy conjugal times ever again lol, your husband needs to respect your time together more, he should have put his phone on silent mode, I take it the skids have a responsible adult watching them at all times, so it would'nt hurt to do this once in a while, Im sorry you feel so sad, I know what its like, they just don't get it do they? Your hubby needs to shape up or lose you, please talk to him about how you feel, your feelings are perfectly reasonable, I would not come second to my skids I expect to be respected equally.

I worry about this kind of problem in the future. SD has finally gotten to the point of maturity where she is beginning to reach out to her dad more, which is positive. But I am noticing more and more where my SO is almost possessive in his communication with her. It's not like he goes out of the way to hide it but will casually mention, "Oh, SD told me such and such." which will be news to me, and then I'll find out he had the conversation days before. This is a much different scenario than when he still needed a cheerleader (me!) during the rough times when skids would never call him or take any initiative. It was me urging him on when he thought it was hopeless, and it was me who told him to never give up on trying to reach out to his kids. I just hope it doesn't bite me in the long run ...

It will bite you, 2tired4drama. I also encouraged my dh to not give up on his kids, and now they are an ever-present thorn in my rear! Wish I had let sleeping dogs lie.

I know that some members have. Personally, I like having a "private" place to share my thoughts too much to bring I know here to read.

I discuss everything with DH that I discuss here. He wouldn't be shocked by anything I have to say, but some of it would be hurtful for him to read. I really need to know that I can post my honest thoughts here without feeling like I have to hold back to spare DH's feelings on the off-chance he might pay a visit without me.

Yep. He'd chalk it up to a bunch of bitter angry women & immediately dismiss it all on that.
