Christmas is always a stressful time. There is the preparing for it, the inevitable guests and all the extra financial expense. Considering that Christmas is actually just one day… the advice I am going dispense is to step back, take a deep breathe and put it all in perspective.
It is just ONE day!
Get everyone to contribute to the whole festivities, plan as much as you can in advance and last but not least try to enjoy Christmas.
“Things are going better these days. I blew up at him and it seemed for the first time he realized how big of an issue this is. Every since then, he has been amazing. If I ask him questions about it, he answers honestly, even if he knows it will hurt my feelings. I’m almost positive he has only “slipped up” twice since July, and even then it was minor.
However, this whole situation ruined my libido. I am angry at the way this has affected us. I don’t look at him the same way anymore, and I don’t want him to touch me. I love him more than anything in the world, but our physical relationship has disappeared.
I’m considering counseling for that problem, because I want this to work and I know he does as well. Wish us luck.”
Hi. It is nice to hear that things are actually going quite well. It is never easy especially when pulling yourselves out of a bad patch. Generally it is always easier to sink than swim but you seem to both be swimming.
Counselling can help. But meanwhile you might also find that trying to start anew might help. I know it is not really possible to start from scratch but going out for dates (like when you first started dating) and doing things together (even if washing the dishes), preparing a special meal and lighting the room with Circle E Candles can bring on a touch of romance… which in turn can do wonders for your relationship.
Love is always worth working for… and as long as you both are happy to work for it… you will both prosper. You will have both ups and downs but treasure the ups and work through the downs. You do seem to have something worth the effort. I do wish you both the very best and if you need anything, do not hesitate to contact me again.
Can you believe Christmas is upon us once again. Christmas is probably the most stressful time of year, yet it is supposed to be about family, time together and peace. Personally I tend to treat Christmas like a mini wedding. You need to plan it full scale and schedule what you need to do… so you can enjoy the big day.
With a wedding you book the date, hall, buy the clothes, wedding favors, order food etc.
Same goes for Christmas (date is fixed and usually so is place – otherwise you would not be stressing), so you need to fit in buying / ordering the food, buying the presents (before Christmas eve – draw up a list) and planning it out. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. After all it is a time for family… and sharing the chores gives you all more time together to do fun stuff!!
Now for me to take my own advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
