It's 2012 - Have I Changed?

The Answer - Hell and No. Okay maybe I have just a little. I have learned ot be more reasonable with my expectations. I am now raising a pre-teen who is driving me crazy and half raising a teenage cousin who really just needs a little guidance and love.

Has my life changed? It has. In the ways that I thought it would... not so much. I recently had a friend send me an email out of genuine concern. She said I seemed unhappy. And that my unhappiness seemed to be coming from my marriage. It made me stop. It made me think. Am I unhappy with my marriage - YES. But a bigger question is why. Is my husband someone different than the man I met 15 years ago? No. Is he someone different than the man I married 6 years ago? No.

Am I different? Do I want something different? Have I told him that I want something different? Can he provide the different thing that I want? And if he can... do I even want him too?

Let me know if you figure it out because I sure as hell have not!
