maybe get some different styled ones, maybe an open one (but closings all the way down) or something slightly more tailored that makes you feel less shabby. All of my work abayas are black on black, a couple with black sparkles. I tend to keep to black for work; use colours or more frilly ones for after work. Princess_I have you got any pics of the models that you refer to. Maybe I could just get them stitched. almost all abayas at the stores have got them all with frills and flowers!

Muffin from Starbucks? That`s probably the worst food to have for breakfast, jesus...Your organism starved the whole night to have the muffin thrown in! Nutritional value=zero. Have a couple of Wasa crackers for fiber and vit.B, crumble on top some feta (or labne) for protein, calcium, vit.D etc., add thinly sliced tomatoes for fiber vit.A+vit.C, sprinkle with mixed-herb or fresh mint and few drops of extra-virgin olive oil for omega 3 and 6+vit.E for your skin. ****** delicious! Even my fast-food fan husband loves these. It will take you 5 minutes, i bet you waste more time going picking up those muffins! You should never skip breakfast, as it kick starts your digestive system for the day and gives your brain the energy. and who exactly will have the time, cooking up or mixing all of these together, while rushing out the house in the morning! ....gosh! that extra bit of sleep.....seems too precious than having breakfast. if only i could forego that sleep......my breakfast and my fitness would be perfect!

Lidkekiwi, this might seem stupid but just guide me....I have never done this....nor heard of anyone in my family doing it. How can I go tell my GP, I had a fight with my DH and he reacts this way if I give him the silent treatment? Should I take my DH along or go alone? Go alone unless you feel comfortable taking him.... you need to tell the GP how you feel, this about about YOUR feelings....... and how YOU react/feel when things go wrong. its hard for me to say, because I don't really know you.......but this is about you getting help to deal with your feelings and learning not to take things to heart to much (as your brother has told you before) You could even print out this thread for him.... ok but how would I know if my GP can handle such issues? or if he wont be harsh. <em>edited by Tweeti on 10/06/2011</em>

First port of call is your GP....... if he thinks you need some more help he will refer you on. Do you have a GP? Also, if you do end up talking with someone - just remember you need to find someone you 'click with' and that can take some time.

My advice is: 1.Go to your husband and tell him out you feel. As I said earlier. 2.On Sunday, go and see your doctor. There is no one that doesn't benefit from talking to a psychologist. I have used them before to help me deal with stress. They can really help. 3.Take up a hobby, or even better do some kind of art therapy class......... learn and join a bridge club - that is fun. Thankyou lidkekiwi, I will look into it.

I don't think its a matter of patching this incident up, its a matter of taking a long hard look at yourself.....otherwise this will just keep happening over and over again. Tweeti, you really need to go and get some counseling or at least talk to a Dr. You wrote in another thread I remember about how you scream at your husband constantly (due to PMT) and he isn't being 'sweet' with you. Can you not see how this, and your 'obsession' is all connected?! how is that connected? OMG.............open your eyes.................enough said! *sigh* :\: I honestly didnt understand what you meant. Iam not under PMS right now. so how does this related to it? when ever I feel sad or hurt.....we cannot label my feelings as 'being under the PMS influence' can we? and about my DH, yes I love him. whether Iam under PMS or not, I still do love him. how are they related?

No I dont work. and yes I love him madly....and I dont regret it. I dont know if I have an anxiety disorder, but I am very sensitive. My brother tells me to learn to ignore things....which I still am learning! ok I understand you feel this is unhealthy. so do u think I should go and make peace? If he knows iam obsessed about him....and if he feels he can treat me that way. should I take the first step to patch up again?? <em>edited by Tweeti on 10/06/2011</em>

Another bit of advice I try and give myself when the going gets tough and I am not sure what to do is to.................ask yourself.............if this was my DD telling me this, what advice would I give her. This often helps to think outside the current situation. I think I would tell 'her DH' to love her more. coz with a lot of hatred out there,.....having someone to love you madly is a great blessing.

Oh dear, I think this has gone off at a tangent. This is not just that he has peeeed you off, its more that you are prepared to let him do whatever because you are so 'madly'in love with him. Firstly, you have to love yourself, otherwise you are leaving yourself vulnerable. Get a grip girl. Forget him not speaking to you etc, etc but work on yourself to not be so devoted to someone that you would take any sort of abuse. That is crazy. Is being 'madly in love' crazy?

My DH and I used to nark at each other in the earlier years of our marriage but back then it was on equal footing LOL!! We were both in stressful jobs before our 2 year stint in Doha and DH often came home from work in a mood, forgetting that I too had probably had a difficult day. I simply said to him that I appreciated that he had issues at work but to remember that I wasn't one of his employees and that he wasn't going to speak to me in that fashion. I then took myself off out somewhere to see a friend or whatever and on my return, we'd talk. I told him about my day and some of the things that had happened and he would apologise. Tell your DH that you are willing to listen to him when he's stressed and needs to let off steam but won't tolerate abuse in any shape or form. Don't be a doormat my love :) I really dont want to be a doormat. I hope he realises. ETA: I know he loves me.......but he just wouldnt budge from his ego. and I want him to realise ego isnt what matters in a relationship. If I pass away tomorrow, will he be able to find someone who loves him madly like me? he needs to ask himself that. although I told him many times, he will never be able to find someone who loves him crazy like me. <em>edited by Tweeti on 10/06/2011</em>

I'm like simpleas, I don't like to sleep/part on an argument for the same reason. However, you keep mentioning how much you love him - in your own words "to the point of obsession." He knows this and knows that he doesn't have to treat you as an equal because you'll always back down to him. I don't know what the answer is I'm afraid but I'm concerned by the power he seems to hold over you. he knows the power he holds over me. I love him to bits. I would forgive him for even abuse. but I just want him to realise. and i feel this might be the only way out. I got no friends to confide or who can guide me. you ladies on EW are my saviours and guides at this sensitive time.

and Iam still trying to find out what would you do if you attempt at giving ur husband the silent treatment, and he plays it on by giving you back a cold shoulder? We can't do it, it's not a game we play. then how do you deal with it. Iam just super upset. I cried all night. and he doesnt have the nerve to come up to me and say sorry or give me a hug. :( I usually work on the principle of not letting the sun go down on my anger. Being a morbid, glass half-empty type of person, I imagine how I would feel if I woke up in the morning to find him dead and our last words had been spoken in rage, not affection. So I tend to offer an olive-branch myself, whether or not he's sulking at me. In any case, we have always tried to talk things through after the shouting, however bad they are. OMG you are so right, and this is one of the main reasons I give in. (and it works against me) he drives to ADH everyday and with the number of hooligans on that road, I keep praying for his safe return almost everyday. Damn!, why cant he realise it......not even his mum or siblings know of the danger that he faces daily. why cant he realise how much I love him.

Yes, I do hope things get better. Ladies, what would you do if you attempt at giving ur husband the silent treatment, and he plays it on by giving you back a cold shoulder? I'm sorry, Tweeti, this is going to sound harsh, but I'm afraid I want to knock both your heads together as if you were silly children. Which is how both your behaviour sounds to me :) On the other hand, on the odd occasion we do have massive arguments, I'm more the kiss and make up after shouting and throwing crockery around type, which admittedly, sounds equally childish :) even I would do that at all times. He was my best friend,...at all times, I would just punch him until i cooled down. but this time its a firm NO! we are adults not kids. he has to realise no one loves him the way I do! if he doesnt value me, he wont get any either. come on.....everytime its ME who kiss and make up...... this time I wont! it may sound childish. I love him badly.....I know even if I attempt at giving him the silent treatment,...I wont be able to hold it for long. I just want him to take the first step. and Iam still trying to find out what would you do if you attempt at giving ur husband the silent treatment, and he plays it on by giving you back a cold shoulder?

silent treatment :-) I wish I could do that.......give him the silent treatment. if i do that.....he either leaves home to hang out with friends or shop and comes back late to sleep. it wouldnt make any difference. infact he would act as if he is giving me the silent - non-talking punishment!! He is a great husband, and I love him to the point of obsession. But he needs to realise that he cant take people who love him for granted. ETA: no he wasnt under the influence of alcohol. <em>edited by Tweeti on 10/06/2011</em>

you are right,...its the weekend. i would prefer talking to him during the weekend and not sulk. but I want him to realise my worth. i really love him a lot, i give in to what ever demand he makes. but i cant accept the fact he used harsh words. While we can't know what sort of discussion your husband responds best to, I often find that if I express my hurt and frustration to my husband in the very same way I would express it to my friends (as you have just done here with us) that always does the trick. Why not try sitting him down and saying exactly what you have written here? That what he said made you feel as if he does not value you and that holding that feeling around is miserable. Be calm and try to remove the anger from your tone. Sorry you are feeling this way, good luck :-) I have done that on various occasions. I have even written down my feelings and emailed it to him. but with talks and emails, he seems to realise what i meant only for a while. and when I email, I never get back a reply, but I realise he has read it due to his actions/behaviour. But I cant keep writing my feelings to him and not getting back a response to what he felt. He was my best friend for 7 years before we got married. and that is what is hurting me the most. he knows me inside out....just as I know him. and I know he will never make the first move.

I think it really depends on what the argument was about and who started it. I'm quite a stubborn person when it comes to making the first move but if I'm really in the wrong I will say sorry. Harsh words are always said when we row, you just need to decide if you want to spend your wknd not talking or make up with hubby and enjoy it. Good luck. he said something...and I felt bad....according to him it was a passing comment. no it wasnt..........his tone said it all. you are right,...its the weekend. i would prefer talking to him during the weekend and not sulk. but I want him to realise my worth. i really love him a lot, i give in to what ever demand he makes. but i cant accept the fact he used harsh words. ETA: I hope this has a positive effect on him....as intended. Iam sure he is gonna go out on his own (without me)..... as I show him Iam sulking and not talking to him. <em>edited by Tweeti on 10/06/2011</em>

Some men just aren't the lovey dovey types. Ok, well sit down and have a chat with him over a glass of vino and a nice dinner, but DON'T get on his case when he's just walked through the door after work and a long drive. He's probably just stressed and tired, but you can't force him to say sweet things, otherwise it won't mean anything. Men need a gentle steer in the right direction sometimes, they don't realise things on their own, they're a bit dense in that department. edited by Chocs01 on 22/03/2011 i have spoken to him regarding this. i think he tends to forget what i tell him. sigh! i need to get on with my life.....need to focus on other things while ....he takes time to realise.
