It's been awhile and a slightly different direction

My journey is changing today

I will begin with a disclaimer/reminder. This is one woman's story of a wonderful and troubled relationship. These are my thoughts and opinions and they are being written "in the moment" and as I am writing this, I do not know where the story will end. I know that my situation needs to change and, ultimately, I can only do that by changing myself. These are the thoughts and feelings that I need to work through to either save my marriage or to have the strength to end it. I will mention some points that have led me here but really this is where I see myself going from passenger on this journey to navigator/driver.

I don't know if it will work.

I don't know how I want the story to end although my husband seeing the light and realizing that I am right (Yes, I am sure that will happen right after I win the lottery!) would not be a bad scenario but seems pretty unlikely.

Instead I am going to try to tame some of the thoughts in my head and make the changes I need to make because I cannot keep on this current path. I am carsick and I need to get out and breathe some fresh air - figuratively, for now.

I do not speak for all women but I have to believe that I am not alone. I guess misery really does love company.
