Can't sleep, marriage falling apart...

[Ineversignedupforthis]

Trying to keep it together for now. Major problems with massively entitled, passive aggressive oh, which keep coming up. Been going on and off for 20 yrs (the problems).

Have bi-polar, which is generally under control, but know I have to be careful, particularly during stress, when I can't sleep.

Am back in that cycle where I wake up at 4 in the morning, almost bang on, as if by alarm clock. Any thoughts? Any poor sod up like me?

So that's our future is it?
Comfy recliner chairs and no need for any instructions about 'afters'!

Tea's ready, got to go!

Sorry should say 'Supper/Dinner' shouldn't I seeing as how this is MN!

No, tea, we're from the North

Oooh you are in skittish mood!

Tis tea here, as I am a lower middle class Sarf Londoner, and tea here in the NE but up here it's usually eaten around 5 which is a bit early I think!

Yes, too early. About 6 in our house.

Well I had another great night with my old friend.
Went to a newly refurbed pub, had a lovely meal and fab conversation.
Shame I couldn't have a long lie-in this morning, DD's coming home in a few minutes;I'll make up for it during the week.

DD's got her school play tues and wed evening, she'd going to her dad's afterwards on wed. I'm glad I won't be dealing with her on thurs am.
Last year she was like a demon on speed after 2 late nights!
She's so tired and ready for her hols.

We've got another week of school. Glad you had a good night.

Well so much for the MN april fool, I must've got really cynical since last year as my first thought on reading was that it's 1st april.

I always used to fall for april fool's jokes.

Watch me fall for all the others today! ha ha

Oh didn't click it was an April fool...but I didn't click the link either so must have noticed subconsciously. I always used to fall for them as well...

Think I was about half way down the link before I realised...

I think it's time to ask for a 'cynic' emoticon from MNHQ.

yy

Well we've got a skeptical one

Nah, we'll just have to make do

And I say this as one who once started a thread asking for to be the other way round, or at least a choice.

Why,for the love of Pete?

Cos in my mind I want to be able to reach out and pick up the . Also I was in a very silly mood

Oh, bloomin 'ec, now I see what you mean, you've got me going now!

The thread got quite interesting, often what you see as the drinker is a bit different from what you see looking at someone drinking iyswim.

Bit philosophical then, a metaphor for different views on life.

I've just found out that my brother has left his wife.

No third party involved.
My sis in law and nieces are devastated.
Sis in law hadn't seen any signs that he was unhappy.
Brother has told step dad that although it's all a real mess he's happier to be away from the house; he's in a hotel for now.

I'm so sad about it, I thought they had a great partnership.
I'm starting to wonder if men are just not cut out for 'til death us do part'.

I was having a sad, reflective sort of day then this.

I'm glad DD and I are going to birth mum's on monday for the week.
It's all getting too much and I'm looking forward to a break from the norm.

Yes you need a break, twill do you the world of good.

I suppose the situation re your brother must be harder since you know that it is hard to tell how a marriage is from the outside

In my case, it's me who is not cut out for 'til death' - I am so so longing to be living on my own again. With Dcat, of course.

Do you know living without stbx is great. Life is so much easier.
I hope you get your 'freedom' soon.

600th post OOOOH!

Amen to that. We can watch Top Gear without a strop, eat pizza NOT at the table. Have tea when it suits. Not have to wait for Lord & Master to come in, have a bath, then lie on the bed to make sure he'd had his full half hour, then join us for a meal at the table. Not have to go and follow his hobbies, whilst he was showing no interest in ours..... I could go on, and on!
