I just thought I might…
Tom was hit by a car Saturday night while walking around the complex. He hurt his shoulder and his knee and is out from work until at least Thursday. I thought that since he was trapped home and couldn’t work that I might get to spend some time with him even though I have to work. The only think I can say is that I get to see him. I can’t find my bluetooth at the moment so I can’t talk to him while I’m driving. So I talked to him on all of my breaks yesterday. After my 11 pm break he went to sleep. It’s 11:39 am and he’s still sleeping. I went grocery shopping last night and got him a bunch of stuff – clothes (his only fitting pair of jeans had to be cut due to the accident), food, flowers, Bengay, and cherry Crush. He doesn’t even know it because he’s not awake. He’s sleeping on the couch in the living room and didn’t wake when I brought groceries in, did dishes, and made myself something to eat. I almost completely cleaned my room Sunday night and he didn’t even comment on it. I felt so horrible yesterday and I still went to get him things at the store. I was literally shaking when I got home and I had no help. I know he’s hurt and that he needs to sleep in order to heal, but you know what? I still resent it. I was exhausted yesterday and had to work for 10+ hours. I was shaking, feeling nauseated, having hot flashes, had back pain, etc. I had to remind him to take the pain medication. I’m trying to figure out how to afford everything and what to pay and not pay. After I finish this I’m going to get dressed, eat breakfast, make lunch, call work and let them know I’m coming in early, and go to work to do some OT. I have to cancel getting my car repaired on Friday. I’m finishing up going through withdrawal and I’m just waiting for the back and abdominal cramps to start. Not to mention the blood. I’m trying to be understanding, but I’m hurting. I know I hurt him on Sunday. My emotions were out of control and things were going straight from my brain out my mouth. I found out this weekend that not only has he been patronizing me, he’s also been lying to me. He keeps telling me that it’s okay and that we’ll get through my medication trial and error and not to worry about cleaning if I just couldn’t do it. On Friday (or was it Saturday?) he blew up about the fact that I hadn’t been cleaning things (which is incredibly hard to do when you’re depressed because you don’t give a shit about yourself, let alone the kitchen) and told me that I was a different person every weekend and he was sick of it. If I’m a different person all the time, how can he know whether or not he loves me? You can’t love someone if you don’t know who they are. And will he love me when I’m finally through this? I don’t know who I’ll be. I’m not the co-dependent person I was when we met. I wasn’t strong then and I depended on him for a whole lot. I don’t think I’ll ever be that person again. How am I supposed to know if he really loves me? How am I supposed to know if he’ll love me a month from now? I don’t know how to handle it all. I’m scared and I’m alone. I’m jealous of my friends who have people in their lives to talk to and do things with. I don’t know where to go from here. (He did get up at some point – the Bengay is open.) I’m alone even when I’m with someone. Sometimes I think I’ll always be alone.

First don’t baby him. Put his pain meds and ben gay near him and leave him alone. Some men are strange, I’m married to one, he doesn’t want to be messed with when he’s sick. He’s a grown man.. let him deal with it. Second, never expect a man to coment when you’ve done something (cleaning your room). It’s not what THEY do. lol They don’t think about things the same way we do.. that’s always a good thing to remember. He’s going to be cranky because he’s hurt… they’re children basically. So let whatever he says roll off your back, hon. When men are sick or hurt they’re morons.
If you need someone to talk to call me. I don’t care when it is!
