Loving You Can Be Tough

Loving someone comes at a price whether we recognize this or not. True love, unconditional, requires a reduction in our individual selfishness and self-centeredness. A change in our total feeling and outlook upon life, and when our love for a partner comes to the decision for marriage it brings on a whole new dynamic, especially in today’s society. Can our marriage survive the low spots that surely lie ahead? This is just one of many questions that will reveal themselves over time.

You have made every effort to make the marriage work and have exhausted what you believe to be every feasible option to resolve the differences. You are left with what appears to you to be the only option left, divorce. Sometimes divorce is the best option for the two parties involved, as human beings are fallible and sometimes it is not possible to work out the differences. 

Rekindling the Romance

**Warning**
It is possible that this post may reveal things about my romantic life that you would rather not read about….mom, dad, and my sister.
Consider yourself warned.
**Warning**

As you are aware, I recently endured 36 weeks of pregnancy.
This was by far, the worst pregnancy I experienced.
First I was told that I had a miscarriage after some unexplained bleeding by the worlds worst ER doctor only to discover less than 24 hours that my baby was just fine.
Shortly after that I began experiencing horrendous pain in my pelvis and the surrounding areas making it difficult for me to do things I was used to doing on a regular occasion.
It was because of my uncomfortable pregnancy and the bumps along the way that my romantic relationship with the Alex began to fizzle.
Unfortunately…..the fire…..it is still kind of out.
Not only do I still find certain things to be uncomfortable, I am also having some self-esteem issues as well.
Following the birth of Ellie, I began to lose weight at a very fast rate. Normally, losing weight would make you feel good about yourself, for me, it has not.
And I am not sure why.
It probably doesn’t help that we are both sleep deprived, he works 3rd shift and sleeps during the day and we have a newborn bunking in our room……

Now I am still, very, VERY attracted to my husband and am hoping we can rekindle the romance….and soon!
I’m hoping that with the help of some candles and a massage kit from Eden Fantasys I can wake up this body of mine.
Right now, I just want my romantic relationship with my husband back!!
