Just don't know anymore...

Have you ever felt brushed off by your spouse or SO? I'm not a needy person, I was raised to be very independent. But that being said, I am married to the military (we were high school sweethearts) we have 3 small kids, and I haven't been able to work much or for long periods of time b/c we've moved around so much. He got back from his 2nd deployment in November, a week b4 my surgery. He's stationed in Ga. I moved back home (Alabama) during his last deployment b/c of some family issues, as well as we thought we would be getting divorced when he got back. (He was talking to another woman and I found out. I said I wasn't going to go through that again..... but I changed my mind. I really do love him with all of my heart.) But this past week I found an email to the girl dated Jan 3rd. It didn't say anything bad, but he promised to stop contacting her back in September. And then on his friend's Facebook, his friend had asked her when she was going to get up with him and my hubby..... (Hubby says he didn't know anything about either situation.) Anyways, I texted him a couple of times this morning and never got a response so a couple of hours later I called him. He answered but didn't really say anything. I tried to tell him how I was sad and missing him, but he didn't say anything. And then he said he was about to drive back to his room and we hung up. I felt even more alone and sad. I'm not good at expressing my feelings. In the past I would have just put on an old movie and pigged out until I didn't think about it anymore. I don't want to do that anymore, and I don't think I could even if I did want to. I'm not sure how I'm suppose to deal with these feelings. UGH. Idk what to think, he gets out in August. I'm trying to just hold out until then and I'm praying everything will be great once he's out and is back home. ..... Am I crazy to hope this??

That must be really hard. :( Does he normally not really say much? If he promised not to talk to her and he still is, that's a red flag. I'm speaking from experience and I've learned your gut feeling is usually correct. Has anything changed? I see you posted this some time ago.

It's gotten somewhat better. Idk if he is talking to her still or not... he deleted that e-mail account. I use to check ohone records... but being military strange numbers show up all the time... so idk. We only see each other twice a month... this last time he camped out with the kids the first night, and the second night he was too tired and his back hurt too bad to be intimate :unsure: But he's always been either hot or cold when it came to that department.

My husband tends to be that typical "chameleon" guy who acts just like the group he's with is acting. And sometimes that worries me... cause he tends to choose the young single guys to hang out with. I told him that I'm uncortable with this... but I'm not about to tell him who he can and can't be friends with. Esp when they have a serious bond from being deployed together. .... It just stinks being apart all the time...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
