repair my marriage

Over the last few years we have had a lot of problems, but I feel like we have really made tons of progress in the past few months. We are communicating more openly and I am being more truthful with him about everything. He is helping me with the finances and we have a definate plan to get out of debt. That is where most of our problems stemmed from and with that in the open we are doing much better. I think I can now safely mark this as DONE!

We have been working together to get out of debt and handling the money issues. We are on vacation in another week and everything seems pretty relaxed. I hope everything can continue this way.

I feel so guilty, but sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I never got married. I wonder if we both would have been happier. As you guessed, there have been a lot of problems over the last few weeks. They all revolve around money which seems to be the main cause of divorce these days. I want us to be the exception, but sometimes I just have to wonder.

We have been having date night once a month now. It’s usually nothing special. Just dinner and driving around mostly, but it gives us some time together.

Next week we are taking our first week of vacation early this year. Our anniversary is on the 20th and we always try to get away for a few days, but this year we are taking a whole week. It will be nice to get away. I really need some time to unwind after the holidays and my store will be moving when I get back. We’re not doing anything really special, just going to the vacation house and relaxing for the week. I kind of wand o see Cumberland Falls in the winter. I’ve only seen it in the summer before.

We had a date night tonight. It was actually kind of nice. We went to dinner and then indulged in a little post holiday shopping for ourselves. After that we just drove around for a bit listening to the radio. Simple yet needed. We are really doing great lately. There hasn’t been too much conflict. I just need to learn not to take some things so personally.

We had a great vacation. Got to relax and enjoy ourselves. I have been really working on keeping our finances straight. This is taking a lot of the stress out of the relationship.

We had an OK week this past week. Not a lot of arguing. I hope this continues. Vacation is in 3 weeks and I want us to be able to relax and have a good time.

I have come to accept that most of the problems that we have are because of me. I lie. I don’t know why. I guess I just want him not to worry about things. He says he wouldn’t be as mad about the money issues if I would just tell him the truth about it. I have not lied to him about anything for 6 days now. I know that is not a lot, but I am working on it. I want to work this out and have a long life together.

I have messed everything up once again. I think he might leave me this time. Of course, it’s all about money. It always is. I was trying to get everything straightened out financially without bothering him about it and he found out that we are behind and he lost it. I deserve it though. I shouldn’t have lied about money. I shouldn’t have lied about anything. Now he is accusing me of cheating on him and that is one thing that I would never do in a million years. I would really like for us to work everything out and grow old together, but I’m not sure if he wants that anymore.
