Strawberry Letter: I Want My Family Back

Majic ATL Featured Video

DEAR STEVE,

MY HUSBAND AND I GOT MARRIED IN 2002 AND IN 2006 I LEFT HIM, DO TO THE FACT THAT HE DIDNT WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS. THROUGHOUT THE MARRIGE I WOULD ASK HIM TO SPEND TIME WITH THE KIDS (WE HAVE TWO A BOY AND GIRL) HE REFUSED HE WOULD RATHER PLAY PLAYSTATION THAN SPEND TIME WITH US. ONE TIME MY BIRTHDAY CAME AROUND AND HE PLAYED VIDEO GAMES ALL DAY THEN HAD THE NERVE TO GET MAD WHEN I WENT FOR DRINKS WITH ONE OF MY GIRLFRIENDS. NEEDLESS TO SAY QUALITY TIME WAS AN ISSUE, I SAID LETS GO TO COUNSELING HE SAID CANT NOBODY TELL ME BOUT ME, I SAID LETS READ THIS BOOK A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE FOR MARRIED COUPLES ITS BASED OFF THE BIBLE HE SAID YOU READ IT AND TELL ME BOUT IT, I TOLD HIM I WASNT HAPPY, MARRIGE IS SUPPOSE TO BE PARTNERSHIP AND I FEEL IM MARRIED TO MYSELF, HE SAID LEAVE CAUSE IM NOT CHANGING SO I LEFT. IT IS NOW 2011 WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT GETTING BACK TOGETHER AND WE HAVE EVEN AGREED NOT TO DATE OTHER PEOPLE AND CONVERSATE MORE, WE HAVING BEEN GETTING ALONG WELL BUT HE STILL HOLDS BACK HIS FEELINGS THE ONLY THING HE TELLS ME IS THAT HE IS SCARED THAT WHEN WE MOVE BACK IN TOGETHER THAT WHEN I GET MAD I WILL UP AND LEAVE HIM. I ASSURED HIM THAT IM OLDER NOW AND IVE WENT TO COUNSELING AND IVE LEARNED TO BE MORE IN TOUCH WITH MYSELF AS WELL AS MY HUSBAND. WHAT CAN I DO TO REASSURE HIM THAT I WONT JUST UP AND LEAVE HIM AGAIN THAT I WANT OUR FAMILY TO WORK?
