Don't know what to do anymore.
« on: May 21, 2013, 07:13:13 am »
I don't know how to start our story, but I know that I need to let this out of my system or else, sasabog na talaga ako. :(

Hubby and I have been together for 8 years now. But if I were to look back, siguro first two years lang namin yung okay talaga kami, tipong simpleng away lang but happy most of the time. Things started getting messy after our wedding (ironic noh). Ibang klase na yung away namin. I'm able to say bad things to him na before hindi ko talaga nasasabi. During our fights, talagang I would think of something to say na masasaktan sya. Noon, hindi sya gumaganti. I would say sorry after and at the back of my mind, mahal nga ako ng taong ito kasi kahit ganun na yung sinasabi ko, di parin siya gumaganti.

Siguro nga, napuno ko na sya, very recently ibang klase na rin sya magalit sakin. He would say things like, buwisit, mukhang pera, etc. Masakit kasi our fights have always been about one thing and one thing alone: pagiging workaholic niya na wala na siyang time para samin ng baby namin. Homebased ang work niya, I used to think ideal yung set-up namin kasi palagi kami magkasama but then he decided mag office siya para daw walang "distractions". So I agreed. Since then, aalis siya ng bahay ng 12nn, babalik kinabukasan (7am), matutulog tapos aalis ulit. During the times na umuuwi naman sya, he would arrive around 9pm pero tutuloy parin siya ng work until wee hours of the morning. Yun ang issue ko sa kanya. Sana mag set naman siya ng time, maski isang oras para makipagbonding samin. Pero he would always reason out, kailangan niya magtrabaho or else wala kaming gagastusin.

Yung mga ginagawa niya recently sakin, alam nyo yung feeling nababastos na talaga ako. Last mother's day, he made no effort at all, ay meron pala. He posted a status sa fb greeting me along with his friends, walang distinction man lang or special message para sakin. When I asked him bakit ganun lang, ang sagot niya "Hindi para batiin ka ngayong araw na to, hindi mo deserve." I cried myself to sleep that night kasi lahat na ng area ng pagkatao ko nalait na niya, but my being a mom, parang hindi ko naman kaya tanggapin. He said sorry few days later pa pero after, parang wala lang nangyari.

And last weekend, he was dropping hints na he wants to make love, so ako naman since namiss mo ko, sige. Pinatulog namin yung baby namin but pati siya nakatulog, so I woke him up, naligo pa sya and pagbalik niya, medyo antok na ako. When we finally started, salita siya ng salita e baka magising si baby so I joked,"ay ang daldal". I later realized he misheard it as "ang bagal" so what he did next, sobrang nakakabastos. Binilisan niya and released, tapos got dressed right after. I was lying on the bed, surprised at what happened, and hurt kasi pakiramdam ko, sorry for the word -- pinarausan lang. I told him, tama ba yung ginawa mo? and he said, oo tama, sabi mo bilisan ko diba? I felt like a prostitute, surprising kasi I never thought I could feel like that e asawa ko naman sya, but the way he did it, bastos na bastos talaga pakiramdam ko.

When he got to his office yesterday, I told him how I felt about what he did and he said, "Ako pa, ako pa ngayon ang bastos?" I asked him what he wants to do, and he said ayaw na daw niya. Wag na daw kami magkibuan. He'll go home para lang makita baby namin but as for me, he wants nothing to do with me anymore.

Ako din, parang pagod na sa paulit ulit na nangyayari samin. Fighter ako, I've always said paglalaban ko yung relationship namin against all odds, pero dati kasi yung odds namin ay other people, pero mahirap pala pag between us two na yung ugat ng problema. Pano ipaglalaban? Naisip ko pa kahapon, I'll do the Love Dare, pero I was also thinking, deserve niya pa ba mga effort ko? Never in our 8-years together na nageffort siya para sa akin, and sometimes I want to blame myself kasi hindi ko binigyan ng worth yung sarili ko so ginaganyan na din niya ako ngayon. I don't know.
I honestly don't know what to do anymore. :(

May magagawa pa ba? Or OA lang ba yun nararamdaman ko?

Fdearyou pushed your hubby way too far... As you can see and from what I understand, you started to treat him like a s***. Alam mo ang garbage can nga napupuno ng basura, how much more yung feelings and pagkatao nya. The moment you start criticizing your partner, you start looking down on him and making him feel like a thrash. There is a thin line of constructive criticism and yung nonsense/destructive one. Once a person felt that he is not being treated with respect by other person much more with their partners, rest assured the worst of that person will come out.

Remember the Golden rule my dear "DO NOT DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO UNTO YOU".

Now if you thinkit would be beneficial to both of you na maghiwalay, do it while there is still a respect to both of you. I think your hubby feels he is not being appreciated by you. See like what you said, he works hard to earn a living for you and your kid. Magastos ang bata, baka yun ang dahilan why he is working so hard to be able to provide EVERYTHING you child will need.

As for the greetings, sister maski ako di ako nagreet ng mother's day ni hubbybut I don't take it against him. Sa dami ng iniisip nun, less worry ko na ang batiin ako ng Mother's day. Ang important is how he treats me regardless kung anong occassion.

Maybe both of you needs to talk it out. This time when you talk, avoid the blame game. Be clear how you feel. Instead of saying You make me feel like a prostitute (like what you said ha) maybe you cam rephrase it like, when you that, it makes me feel cheap. At least you are not saying it na sya ang nakakafrustrate sayo but rather his actions. Make sure you tell him the actions that makes you feel bad and avoid sounding like he is the one causing it... Magkaiba yung phrasing pag actions ang sinasabi mo na may problem hindi yung tao...

If you said harsh words towards one another, you are also forcing him to retaliate.... Think about it sis... We get the love we deserve remember that...

Sis, sa tingin ko, malaki ang sama ng loob ni hubby mo sayo kaya konting inis lang nya, sumasabog na sya.

Kaya din siguro sya nagpapakasubsob sa trabaho para hindi isipin mga problema nyo, kasi ang boys madalas tumakas sa problema yan, they avoid confrontation as much as possible, unless fist fight ito   ::)

Try mo labingin si hubby mo, pakitaan mo ng sweetness, be his ideal woman again.  Lalambot din yan  ;D

Ouch, I felt guilty now. May actions din si TS na ginagawa ko sa husband ko. It makes me reliazed that I'm not just lucky to have him instead I'm blessed..

Golden rule should always be follow talaga. I'm afraid na mapuno din sya.
May I ask sis, hindi ba open yong communication niyo ng hubby mo?  Kasi kami dalawa ng hubby ko may open talk talaga,sasabihin ko sa kanya yung ayaw ko sa kanya hen vice versa. Masakit din malaman yung rants nila sa atin ha but it has advantage too for us to realize our moves. Lately, palagi ko sya inaaway because of financial matter then nanotice ko na parang bumababa yung self-esteem nya which is unhealthy for both of us.

Try to read Secrets of Fascinating Wife if you haven't read it. Maganda din yun and try to apply it. Pray also sis, hindi naman ibibigay sa iyo ang challenge na yan if di mo kaya.

I always believe na for a relationship to work, efforts should be made from BOTH parties. Kung sorry ka na naman talaga, huwag mo na ulitin about calling him names or makikipag away ka. Tumahimik ka nalang. Write down what you want to say para mapigilan mo sarili mo.

As for your hubby, it just reminded me of my ex.  He would also come home in the mornings.  Minsan di na nauwi. Late din minsan in the middle of the night, pupunta daw ng office. Kapag gusto ko magbakasyon ang reason nya busy sa work. Hindi alam when he can take a leave. He brings home the bacon at may proof naman sya he is working hard for it. But you know what, nalaman ko rin eventually na may babae sya. Hindi ako makapaniwala because initially I thought he is just a workaholic. So tingnan tingnan mo rin.  Ang point ko lang, puede naman maging workaholic ang tao, pero hindi dapat maikli ang pasensya nya sayo at the same time, he should still find time to enjoy things with you.

Napag usapan nyo na ba to go to a marriage counselor?  Pag usapan ninyo na both of you are not happy.  If he is willing to work it out with you, ayusin ninyo.  If not, huwag nalang mag effort, sayang lang.

sis ano ba usually pinag aawayan ninyo para masabihan mo siya ng harsh words?

umaabot na ba kyo ng murahan talaga? saka bakit umabot sa point na sinabi niya na mukhang pera?
what triggered him to say that? ask mo muna sarili mo paano umabot ng ganoon...

then talk to him...expect na masasakit masasabi niya kasi tingin ko punong puno na siya....then work things out...
mag agree kayo into something para malessen or maiwasan away ninyo...

sana walang ibang babae si mister kaya siya nagkaka ganyan..pray sis

sis, pray hard and start to meditate from the very beginning. I do believe din sa Golden Rule... Sa ngayon ang magagawa mo talaga is be a good wife kahit nagwawala siya, para makita niya you have changed, malay mo mag rekindle yung love niyo sa isa't isa. Yes can be may other woman but still you need to show him you are better than anyone woman (pero sana wala naman).

ang dating sa akin hindi nare-resolve yung mga petty quarrels ninyo and/or hindi nakakapag-forgive talaga ang bawat isa at the end of the fight.

kailangan magreflect ano yung mga pinag-aawayan ninyo. ano yung mga bagay na gusto at ayaw ninyo sa isa't-isa. yung mga ayaw ninyong attitude about each other dapat pag-isipan mabuti if you can actually live with it for the rest of your lives.

I feel really sad while reading your post.

First, ano bang klase ang work ng husband mo? Research mo din. Is it really the type na kailangan na ganun katagal magstay sa office? Kasi nga baka, may sideline girl na siya. Although of course, you need to confirm this.

You never stated sa post mo ang main source ng away niyo. Petty lang ba na naging super big issue? O yung pagiging workaholic lang niya? Kahit Sundays wala siyang time for you? Aba, iba na ata yan.

I am not married nor am in a relationship but my dad is an OFW. I grew up in a household where most of the time, wala ang tatay ko. Imagine how difficult that is for my mom. But they're still together. Lagi, sabi sakin ng mom ko, kailangan talagang mag-usap. In time. Kapag hindi na ganun kainit ulo niyo sa isa't isa, you have to talk. Hindi mo ito maiiwasan. And make a decision while your head is cool. Make a rational decision. Tama yung isang poster. I advice na isulat mo mga hinaing mo sakanya and make sure you choose the right words and then rehearse saying it in your mind para pag nag-usap kayo, mas maayos.

Remember, walang divorce sa Pilipinas. Ang annulment, mahal na, mabagal pa ang proseso. So hangga't maari, sana maayos ninyo muna para man lang sa baby niyo.

If he spends his time at home naman to do the extra hours for work, baka naman talagang nagttrabaho lang talaga.
Mas kakabahan pa ako kung OT siya sa office, kasi baka kaya siya "cold" sayo e may babae na. Pero nanjan naman sa bahay diba?
Are you a housewife? Baka naman kasi he is having a hard time to have ends meet. Kaya trabaho dito, trabaho doon....
Baka pressured siya to provide for your family tapos mas lalo siya napressure sa time na hinihingi mo.

Oo sis kailangan mo yan, kailangan niyo yang time to bond. Pero siguro kasi naiisip ng asawa mo eh, nagbonding nga kayo, wala naman kayo pangkain...
Eh di ikaw at baby mo rin yung kawawa....

everytime na na-fefeel ko na gusto ko nang hiwalayan si hubby, lagi kong tinatanong sa sarili ko kung ang dahilan ba ng pag-aaway namin ay kasing laki ng pagmamahal ko sa kanya. ang ibig kong sabihin, worth ba na bale walain ko ang marriage namin dahil sa pinag awayan namin?

base sa kwento mo, sa tingin ko kulang kayo sa communication. mukha ngang lagi kayong may "miscommunication". para sa hubby mo, ang pagtatrabaho niya ang para may panggastos kayo pero para sa iyo, ang trabaho niya ay kakulangan niya ng oras para sa inyo ng baby mo. diba miscommunication iyon? hindi kayo pareho ng line of thinking. daldal ang sinabi mo pero bagal naman ang dinig niya. miscommunication na naman.

madalas kong tanungin ang sarili ko kung tama bang hanapin ko sa asawa ko ang mga bagay o katangian na wala siya? para sa akin kasi, kaya ko siya pinakasalan ay dahil mahal ko siya. kaya kung ano man ang meron siya o wala sa kanya, mahal ko lahat iyon. ang hirap din kasing hanapin sa asawa ko ang wala sa kanya. i struggled for years looking for something from him. pero talagang hindi ko mahanap sa kanya ang hinahanap ko kasi wala nga siya non. if ipipilit ko, talagang madidisappoint lang ako and eventually will lead to separation.

i hope you may be able to choose well. talk to him, listen to him with open mind. pray for guidance and if possible pray together.

REINNEJANELLE. What do you do with your day?

IMO, when a woman has a workaholic husband/partner -- it does not help to demand for time sharing.  Nagiging  defensive lang sya, and feels unappreciated.
The better strategy is to plan for activities you both enjoy, or the kids enjoy with you 2 adults.   
That way, he will have the initiative to make time for you.

i think the two of you should sit down with a bottle of red and let it all hang. you both should go in there with a mindset that it would be the "last great big discussion" before the hiwalayan.  the realization that The End is so close plus how alcohol will help loosen your moods and words might help get you both back on track.  good luck and keep us posted please.

I'm sorry to say this Sis... based on your story, you made him to be that way.  Napuno na ata si hubby mo kaya sumasagot na rin sa yo.  And I think narindi na rin na lagi mo sinasabing wala syang time. Minsan kase ang mga lalake they don't like being pushed in doing something lalo na if sa paniniwala nila na ginagampanan nila ang kanilang tungkulin bilang good provider.  (He is a good provider naman di ba?) and remember Men (most of them) wants to be in control...so let them be in control.. or atleast let them think they are in control hehe! 

To add to what Aquacharly wrote...make yourself busy din para hindi mo palagi napapansin na wala syang time sa inyo.  If you are busy la ka na time to think about those things.  And eventually (i hope hindi sya manhid) mapapansin niya na you are not bugging him anymore, kaya magiging curious yan kung ano pinagkakaabalahan mo at ng anak niyo.  (this worked for me) By the way how old na yung anak nio.

Pero now siguro kelangan mo muna mag-sorry sa kanya.  Kahit sya mali, mag-sorry ka sa kanya just this time lang.  At once ok na kayo... i-apply mo yung mga tips ng mga Sis natin here.

And speaking of tips...be creative din sa bedroom  ;) tingnan lang natin kung hindi yan magset ng time for you  ;)

being a b**** is never good... naging issue rin sa akin ito... nagagalit ako kaya gagawa ako ng paraan para magalit ka rin, which of course is very wrong...

be conscious of what you say or what you feel. don't just throw around words.  you're very lucky that you have a husband who's providing for you and your kids.  don't let your anger push him to another woman's arm.  be supportive instead.  be the bigger person.

and learn to "agree to disagree"

about the bed issue... instead of feeling cheap and hurt kasi tinapos nya agad, ask for another round!

iwasan mo rin ang sobrang telenovela sis... mas lalo kang ma-depress... mas ok ang pagbabasa ng romance novels, kasi laging happy ending

mas positive ang aura na iiwan sa'yo  ;D ;)

Good communication is key to a good relationship. Tsaka dapat matutong makiramdam ang parehong partner. Don't push each other way too far. Easy lang kayo. Think of your baby...

When the relationship has gone down to the level there is no more respect and kindness --  what's the point of going on?
Better work towards an orderly termination, and from there work out a civil relationship so that your kid does not absorb bad vibes. 
The reality is, some people are really better off as friends, and not as spouses.
But that's just my opinion, what would I know?


You can do 3 things, IMO.

1st:  Re-invent yourself into someone he will be interested in. 
Do everything pleasing to him, kahit mura murahin  ka nya, hwag mong gantihan ng mura.
Try to remember and be the person he fell in love with, at the start.
Do everything, and more to convince him you are a good person delightful to  be around..
(Hwag mo ko batuhin, darling, pero sa tingin ko guilty ka of some things/acts/habits that turned your hubby into a mean/rude person. I am not pinning all the blame on you; but surely, you share part of the blame.   But that is done & History na.)
Face yourself, be truthful & be humble.  Then, re-invent yourself  so that History does not repeat itself.

So...  Then, give yourself a reasonable deadline. 1 month? 6 months? 1 year?
Ikaw lang makaalam what is reasonable to you.  How much can you take, how far can you go for this relationship?
After that deadline,  call it quits.  Wala na, tapos na, move on.

2nd Option:
Deadmahin mo. Instead of wasting your energy hoping he will be the husband you wanna have -- Work each day to improve yourself and advance your interest.  Study, learn a new skill, work.  Start a business. Move your butt.
Time is being wasted sa pagmunimuni mo ng sama ng loob.  At the end of each day, you are where you started pa rin, no better.  But if you occupy yourslf productively --  a year will pass, magugulat ka you have more options. You will not feel trapped.  You can get to   the point of financial and emo independence --  que bumati sya ng iba sa FB --  so what? to you.

3rd Option:
Mag hiwalay na kayo to remove the "toxic" from your home, your life, his life.
If patay na ang kabayo,  mabubuhay mo pa ba?
But you see, this option is hard --  if you are financially dependent on him.
IMO, kasi talaga -- if there is no more Respect & Kindness --  there is nothing there anymore.
Even the worst of philanderers, some  are kind to the  wives they cheat on; some show respect --  hindi nila binabalandra or put on show/exhibit their kab1tch or casual fcks --  tinatago, they are very discreet.


Pray for Divine Guidance, and for Courage to act on such guidance.

sis eto lang masasabi ko

first step mo isipin mo at pagnilay nilayan mo yung mga bagay na nagawa mong mali at sa tingin mo na nakasakit sa asawa mo.

tapos, tanggapin mo yung mga pagkakamali mong iyon deep in your heart.

subukan mong kumbinsihin si mister na mag set kayo ng araw na kayo lang dalawa na magusap regarding all matters na nangyari sainyo...

pag ayaw niya dahil sa galit na galit nga siya sayo.. try mong i approach siya in a humble manner..

kapag pumayag na siya, magkaroon kayo ng OPEN FORUM kasi napansin ko sa post mo e.. parang pakiramdaman lang kayong dalawa.. parang wala kayong open communication.. mahirap talaga ang ganoon..

iready mo na ang kalooban mo sa mga masasakit na bibitawan ni mister.. wag maging sensitive basta pray lang sis para din yan sa anak niyo..

EXPECT THE WORST BUT DO YOUR VERY BEST TO SAVE THE MARRIAGE..

tapos ano man ang maging outcome ng usapan, magkaroon kayo ng AGREEMENT

Sis I feel for you, ganito din nangyayari samin ni hubby. There are times na gustong gusto ko na din sumuko lalo na kapag may rejection in his part sa mga efforts na ginagawa ko to make our relationship work. (I must admit, ako ang may kasalanan why we are in our situation right now that’s why I am doing most of the effort). There’s an instance pa na he told me he doesn’t love like before and he’s not happy with me anymore. Ang sakit talaga kaya I thought of giving up na. But I didn’t, I am still fighting hanggang ngayon. He agreed with fixing our marriage naman, yun lang dumadating din siya sa time na gusto nya na din mag give up..  Ang ginagaw ko lang sis, I pray, pray hard then pray harder. I believe that just like us, you and your hubby are meant to be with each other and He wont let na maghiwalay ang pinagsama o itinadhana niya. Challenges lang yan sis, don’t give up, in His time maayos din ang lahat.
