Hi gang, and happy new year. We certainly can call ourselves "survivors", having made it thru another year (let alone another day). Welcome new people--sorry...

Good Morning Steph, yes going back to your own place will be hard but you will be ok. Fix up your place the way you want with no critizism from him. That's...
Hey Donna, I vegged too. Didn't even get out of my nightgown. We watched football and I even took a nap for an hour or so. It was rainy here and then after...
Robin, Oh I know so well what you mean about the lies. Like the card thing. He thinks she'll be mad I didn't get her a card so I'll pretend I did. My DH has...
Donna, I'm glad you did your own thing, but sounds like it was rough with a whiner/complainer in the house exuding all that negativity. My night was okay-- we...
I think my d.h. has convinced himself that a little white lie is better than upsetting me. He doesn't think about the cumulative effect and how much simpler...
What I was trying to say is that my husband usually has an ulterior motive for being nice-- what a way to think of your husband, but even his mother said he's...
Jo, I hear you - There usually is an ulterior motive around here too... and there aren't the nice actions anymore to "ease the pain" either. He's to the point...

Savannah; Welcome to the group... I'm involved in a few gamanon type groups and all I can say is "there but for the grace of God go I." I have done things in...

Hi Amanda; I'm sorry that you've had to search us out, but glad you found us, if that makes any sense... The CG doesn't have much on timing, do they? I'm...

Dear Melody, the problem is you are trying to make sense out of something that makes no sense. It just is. That did not come from me directly. That is a...
Truth be told, in the case of my cg spouse, I think the concept of "winning" doesn't really enter into it. I think he is seeking thrill and excitement FIRST...
