Sadness on anniversary

[allthewoes]

I feel stuck in a marriage that isn't really working anymore, and had to spend the day receiving messages of congratulations for our silver wedding 🙁

Nobody knows we're having problems, apart from a couple of very close friends of mine, and I just spent most of the day sad and weepy.

Tbh most of the time we just crack on with life and brush it under the carpet (accept that this isn't a healthy approach) but it just felt like a massive spotlight was shining on it and I feel like a total fraud 🤦‍♀️

Ah hello, I'm sorry to hear this.

So you've a big one approaching, but it's a fake. What do you think you will do? Are you thinking of splitting or of talking and redesigning things so they are better?

I'm reading a book atm which speaks about having the courage to see what you see. It sounds to me as though you are seeing the truth and now need to decide how to act. I always see the truth, but don't always act on it and that is my current lesson. Apparently it is good, life changes, things change and we need to flex to remain happy and congruent.

It's not approaching, it was yesterday. It just felt really uncomfortable and a bit of a sham.

@something2say may I ask what book it is that you are reading?

@allthewoes I hear you - sorry you are feeling this way too.

Yes of course.
