I NEED those pants in the last one. I love this style too, but don't think I could pull it off. Those pants look like they could be worked in easily though.
H is leaving till mid Oct at the end of the month. I'm trying really hard to act sad, but I'm secretly looking forward to it. I love my husband but I really enjoy being alone (Even though kids will be here).
My H gas PTSD and therapy has helped him so much. He hated going at first, and it took him forever to admit it was working. It really saved our marriage.
If you want to PM me to talk you can. I know living with someone with PTSD can be really hard to deal with.
I just finished a Discovery of Witches and I liked it enough to continue the series, but I guess it didn't exactly...move me? I dunno, I just need to talk it out.

I stayed up late to finish it the other night (done in one day, yay!). Then I promptly downloaded the 2nd book. I like it, but I can't say I love it. Yet. I am just glad the 3rd book comes out in a few days so I can render my final verdict quickly.
This is about how I feel so far too. I loved the first one and was super pumped to start the second, and I feel like it's kind of stalled out. I'm not too far into the second one, but I'm really hoping it picks back up again.
I have so many things I should be doing. My boss comes back from vacation on Monday, and I'm OOO Monday and Tuesday so I need to make sure shit is in order before I leave here today. Instead I am making lists for my trip this weekend and searching the area for indoor activities since they're calling for MOTHERFUCKING THUNDERSTORMS the days we're planning to spend at the amusement park.
Someone just brought in a box of warm Krispy Kreme donuts and I'm trying desperately to stick to my diet. I said no, but it's killing me. It didn't help that some bag of dicks walked the box over to me and waved it in my face knowing I was trying to resist. He's such an ass.
I loved the second one much more the second time through. The first time though, I was a little bogged down in ALL the history she was throwing at me.
I agree that she does leave a lot to the third book. The second one, once she actually meets the witches she went there to meet... well... it gets amazing.
POSSIBLE SPOILER QUESTION BELOW
Do they at least consummate the marriage in the 2nd one, or do we at least find out what the damn hold up is? I just want them to do it already!
Brandy..no. Just...come on now. He's an abusive piece of shit and you need to get out of there. Do you honestly, honestly not think you are going to be right back here the next time you dare piss him off?
You have to be stronger than "well, now that he's been nice to me for five seconds, all is forgiven!"
I'm sorry to be harsh, but come. on.
eta: I've forgotten how you spelled Brandy. Sorry.
This is harsh, but true.
Unfortunately, I can see where you're coming from LRMM. Such are the dynamics of abusive relationships. Those fuckers are harder to let go than anyone else.
Didn't you once say you'd consider reconciling with him at some point after being divorced and apart for some time? And he acted as if that would be just impossible? If he got you back under his manipulation and control *now* he'd have an easier time of slipping back into old habits. He likely doesn't like the sound of getting back together after some time apart because he doesn't want to have to battle a stronger, smarter, more confident woman who might not let him treat her like shit.
Because he's an abusive asshole, and that's how they fucking operate.
So, things are better between XH and I. No more hatemail, no more ignoring, etc. No more arguing over visiting with Isla. He even dropped by yesterday and took her to the park for a few hours since I had her a few hours on Sunday. She had a blast.
Problem is: Now I don't want a divorce again. I was starting to accept it. And now I just can't. I think it is wrong for my family. I can't tell what he thinks for sure. I think we are both scared of making the wrong decision. I think he was crying when he left yesterday.
This whole thing has really changed my view on marriage/divorce. I don't think it should be so easy to get a divorce (obviously unless the situation is unsafe). Especially if your reason is you aren't getting along. Adults are in control of how hard or easy it is to get along with someone. I wish we had exercised more control over that. There were so many times I could have put my marriage first and I didn't and neither did he. Cannot believe how we wrecked this shit up.
I am so sorry you are feeling like this, but I am glad you two are getting along better. That is really great!
I do have to say I couldn't disagree more about making divorce harder though. Marriage is completley voluntary and IMHO, just not getting along or not being happy is totally a valid reason for divorce. No one should have to be forced to jump through hoops to un-entagle themselves from living an unhappy life.
I am probably having a strong reaction to this due to my own impending divorce, but I can't imaging having to somehow "prove" to a judge or a court that I deserve to be free of my STBXH, even though he has never physically abused me or my child or is not a drug user or drinker.

Dh and I got married Sept 2012. I did thank you cards when we got back from our honeymoon but was a few stamps short so DH says "oh put them on the table and I will take them and put the rest of the stamps on and get them put in the mail."
Well, guess what I found at the very bottom of our junk drawer in the kitchen yesterday? THE FUCKING THANK YOU CARDS! 2 mf years later! He says he thought I took them which means that our housekeeper probably put them in there and I never noticed and kept putting stuff in there.
WTF do I do now? Mail them out 2 years later? DH thinks we should rewrite them and apologize for the delay.

Reading my previous confession I don't know which is more of a confession. That I haven't mailed out thank you cards from my wedding 2 years ago, or that I haven't cleaned out our junk drawer for two years
I get really shook when someone has a pic of a celeb as their avatar and then posts a pic of their real face. I'm like "no, you're Julia Roberts, stop."
So what you're saying is that you're not really a T Rex, then?
I really try to not judge other parents, and hope they don't judge me, because I'm becoming more and more laid back. But last week at the park I judged some asshole.
He's drinking a beer while watching his kids play in the sand. I see nothing wrong with light drinking around kids but it was 11 AM. Then he proceeds to light a cigarrette. Dude, we're out in the open but there's like 1.224 kids around.
To top it off him and his wife, both young-ish, proceed to loudly tell friends about how she got pregnant on the first try with both kids. Cue eye roll from other parents.
@LovelyRitaMeterMaid so what I'm getting from your last post is that you think maybe it's your fault that things fell apart? (Ref when you said you think he has trust issues from something you did eons ago)
You don't see that that's pretty much exactly what he wants you to think? Of course he doesn't want any blame for being an emotionally manipulative jerk. But he's just providing more examples that he is.
OK, I have a slightly lighter confession. I thought about it recently because there are a lot of pregnants here at work.
I really enjoyed that really sugary drink they make you take for the glucose test. I remember being afraid to go take the test and drink the drink because of all of the things I had read here on TB about ladies getting sick from it, but I was pleasantly suprised. I had the orange one, so maybe the other flavors were gross?

I was at the lab getting some blood tests done last week, there was a pregnant woman across form me drinking her orange drink going "Mmm this is pretty good".
I don't like really sweet things, but it's not as horrid as the rep it gets.
I hate Julia Styles on a really irrational level. I need to work on it. She's a human being, she doesn't deserve my spite just because she's a shitty actress with dumb facial expressions.
This cracks me up. It's so true! I can't stand her either.

She did ask for deactivation. The mod banned her because it would be quicker.
+1. I hate sour cream
I mean, I absolutely need to know what happens next, but SO MUCH was held back until the end, the mind boggles.
???
:-/
Only bj is supposed to do deactivations. But mods can ban and delete all the user's content where warrranted.
So one option is to really go out guns blazing if you want a quick delete.

I think my divorce will be better for my kid in the end.
She needs/ deserves to have at least one happy, functioning parent.
