It's been a while since I've updated the journal, but I suppose it can function as a marriage journal of shorts too.
Marriage has thus far been an assortment of things, actually just about anything that comes to mind when one thinks of marriage. Sometimes
things can be frustrating, exciting, angering, or any mixture of feelings. However, I must admit that I did not anticipate being tested
as frequently and thoroughly as I have been to maintain the previous status quo. When once she listened to me and would do anything for me
now asking for a simple glass of water can be a struggle, yet I believe she expects more of me. I know I have let myself go physically...
but that alone cannot be the answer. Although the nightly lengthy amounts of sex have been drastically reduced to once or twice a week, if
we are lucky, due to many factors. These factors include but are not limited to pregnancy concerns, spending too much time together and a
great deal of stress. The stress can come from her mother who we live with currently while finishing up school, I would not have made the
decision to move in with her mom (divorced parents) had I known how much it would interfere with our relationship. I will add a later entry
addressing that problem, but I'm hoping to keep this one short. I have to wonder if it has to do more so with respect or being too available
for my own good. Any decision can become a debate, something that has grown irriating despite my father's former opinion that I should join
the debate team since I love to argue so much. Yet I after being woefully lax for so long in many areas of my life due to being blissfully
ignorant while enjoying a fresh marriage I have at last begun to reclaim myself. While my workouts and social skills may have dropped a tad,
they are still at a level that I can feel proud of, and especially since I have begun to improve on these aspects of my life once again.
On the bright side I have become a great deal more experimentive in the sex department when regarding new sexual positions, something that
will require constant creativity but something I am extremely excited for none the less
While this post is significantly more negative that I would like, hopefully the next few posts can more than make up for it in positivity
