My marriage is turning its fourth year and there are many ups and downs which -- I would say, are very normal to happen to any married couples. I don't intend to focus on ups in this entry, but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate them. Our ups are always...like a firework to me. I am thrown to clouds to feel the sweetest happiness created by my husband. He is my Cooper Connelly - the perfect one, the only one.
When I was a teenager, I always wondered what kind of a guy I would marry to. Will he complete me? Will he fill in this deepest hollow of a broken heart? Will he lift me up whenever I'm dropped dead to the ground? All these questions are finally answered soon when I tied my knot to Shamel. I couldn't believe I would have a great life - a handsome husband, a lovely son. And yes, I am fucking lucky - just like Billie Mann.
But the downs are sickeningly miserable. People may find that three days of no talking to your loved one is bearable. Yet, that's never the case for me. At all. Our downs aren't exactly like Billie and Cooper, nor Billie and Brad. I classify them as "the cold war". It is icy cold. No laughing. No talking. No gossiping. No whining. Just - - a perfect silence.
We started couple counseling and it's still ongoing. We want to find some common grounds/rules whenever bombs are landed either by me or him. Till now, the only homework we did is to get to know each other -- which was done half way through. Another homework, sadly to say, it hasn't even begun. It's not that we are not committed to it. But, I just don't know if it's necessary or going to work on me per say.

I miss my doses couple of days. Shamel knows about that and all he can tell me is not to miss it anymore. But, oh well, shits happen and I can just easily go off the track. I am not being myself. I am tired. I am exhausted.
Really. exhausted.
