> That when you let a little bit out, it eases the pressure so that adding a little more won't cause you to explode (or implode, depending on your tendency). Of course, I've been wrong once or twice before, so maybe I'm wrong now.
nah!

>I guess that's just how it seems to work for me. So, as long as you have something that needs to get out, come here and LET IT OUT!!! Or email me or any of your many other babble friends who, I know, want to support you.

(((((((((((((jammerlich)))))))))))))))
thank you. you're so sweet :)

> I hear you on the 24/7 husband thing. That was most of my marriage with my ex and it's a real bitch!! I completely believe the saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." And I don't know what to tell you. I tried getting out as much as possible; but, it really wasn't a perfect solution. It's not the same as being HOME all alone. That is what seems to be the most peaceful for me. I know it's hard, but could you tell him you need him to be out of the house for X number of hours per week?

Hmm, well my opinion is that he should be doing his homework in his office, rather than coming home midday and napping/surfing the internet/asking me why I'm so grumpy. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's ever felt this way. And the guilt of NOT wanting to be with him, I mean, we ARE married, aren't we?

> I guess I just figure if what's going on now isn't making you happy, then what's the harm in trying something else? Could things really end up any worse?

Food for thought, Jammer. I bought some self-help books today to help me figure out what my strengths and weaknesses are, and to help me figure out how to nourish my artistic and not just my analytical side. Science is a very creative thing, actually. So many dissertation days I had to pretend like editing a paragraph was a craft project.

Now I'm in denial mode. Working on manuscripts related to my dissertation is *okay* but not very satisfying. (to make sure this doesn't get booted to another page- I should add that both of my Ts right now (2nd order digression- am I the only one posting with 2 T's? Maybe I should start a thread on that!) agree that it takes a lot of time and perspective before I will be able to go back and do serious work on my dissertation document or subject. Yet, I feel a lot of pressure from my former advisor to publish about 4 papers from my dissertation (it was a big project). PRessure. And Threats: remember, Llurpsie, WE'RE the ones who will be writing your letters of recommendation. Don't you want to have as many accomplishments as possible before you (write a book, apply for a position... etc)?


> I'm thinking about you Llurpsie. I hope things start getting better soon.

Thanks jammer. I got out of the house to buy the books at borders, and I feel almost "neutral", not quite so bitchy and grumpy-depressed.
