advice

So last week, a coworker of mine shared a link to a relationship advice column. Some chick wrote in, plum tuckered out from trying to figure out what to do about a recent “incident” with her husband. She said prior to “the incident,” she'd trusted her husband “because she was pregnant,” which is just so ridiculous I'm not even sure where to begin, but we'll leave that for another day. Now, because of “the incident,” she feels completely betrayed and let down, and is at a loss for the reason why and the solution.

My man's allowed to sleep with whoever he wants. That's not a trap for him, or some ploy to make me seem “edgy” or “progressive” to you. It's just the way it is.

You know what I'm talking about. That angry, “I could totally knock your head off your shoulders!” sex that reminds you you're alive and your partner is, too, and life is grand. I mean, seriously pissed off, ready to knock each other's teeth out, can't stop swearing at each other...and then suddenly you're kissing sex.

If you know anything about me at all, you know that I'll avoid going to the doctor at all costs, so that, in and of itself, is proof I'm feeling pretty crappy. Add to that the facts that I'm ridiculously irritable, and all I've done all day since getting the things I had to do for work finished is lay on our giant beanbag with the kitten (I'm a workaholic), and you start to understand just how bad I feel.

When's the last time you got into an argument with your partner? It's okay. Everybody argues. Despite the fairytale standard of “happily ever after,” an argument doesn't, in any way, mean you don't love each other, or you're not right for each other. People disagree, no matter how much they care for each other. It's just a part of life.
