Just want to sleep

[forgiven]

Darn it just seems all I want to do is sleep,I have to go to bed before my Spouse or I will lay here half the night thinking about how unhappy I am and wondering who this person is that I'm laying next too.
I have considered moving into the extra bedroom,I guess sleeping is a form of escape for Me a place where I can dream of things that are good and peaceful,a place where the things of the World are not present and can't harm Me emotional,If you were to ask Me twenty years ago or even ten,would I have wind up in such a place,I would have told you noway,
If you were to ask us,I and my Spouse twenty Six years ago would We be at this place in our Marriage where we are now,We both would have said"no way" well what the H$&l happen,I mean what did we let happen,I know as you get older things change,people change,there likes and dislikes change.
What happens when all the sudden you can no longer find that love that you once had,do you just settle for it,because it's all you have?
You know it's hard to see the future through these eyes,to see hope in a better tomorrow,BUT! I keep telling myself,"Don't you ever give up on yourself,others may,but you can not"I believe God speaks to me and tell me he will never ever give up on me,so I must stand with my Father God and say I will never give up,I will fight a goo fight until the end.
I will be reaching out to the many who are Hart broken,confused and afraid,
I will continue to pray for all of us and I hope there are those out there that will join me in my prayer for our healings,may God bless and keep us under his Wings.

Hi. I was just the opposite. I hardly ever slept. And I did move into the spare bedroom. But ya know what, it really didn't seem to matter that much. We decided that what we had was worth fighting for. We started makeing small changes in our daily routine that really made a difference. I started leaving little notes in his lunches, in his sock drawer, etc... "hi, i'm thinking of you".... "hi. I wish you were here right now"...... "hi. I'm makeing you something special for dinner tonight".... but never "i love you". Never that. That was saved for face to face. And always included his name. Never, love ya hon. Never i love you. Always, Harlan, I love you very much. We started having "just because" days. We would do something nice for eachother not because it was a birthday or a holiday but just because we wanted to. We began having date night. A real date just like before we got married. One condition... no sex on date night. Nope. That was for talking and getting to know eachother all over again. It didn't take long and I was back to giggling like a teenager every time we crossed paths in the kitchen. He began to sit in the kitchen with me every night as i cooked dinner for the family and just talked to me. It wasn't long after that we began to hear "oh grooooooooss!" from the kids when we kissed. A relationship takes work. A lot of it. And sometimes we get caught up in everything else but the one we love. The love is still there. Sometimes we just have to go back to the basics and remember why we fell in love in the first place.

I hope this helps.

Hi, just like to let you know that I feel the same. I have recently just wanted to go to sleep just so I don't have to stay awake and feel the empty hollow feeling in me. I have slept during the day to escape then hope I wake up and it will be gone.

You're not alone, and it will eventually pass, you are strong.
