Walls Came Down, Anxieties Went Up
My husband had a grand idea to tackle a renovation during this quarantine because he got word he’d be working from home till the end of the year and he needed an office space. I did not want to knock down walls and undergo this big project with a newborn in the house but, you can’t always win in a marriage. You know because of… compromise.
The first wall came down, and my anxieties went up.
Our love story
Colton came into my life when I wasn’t ready for him. I had just gotten out of a relationship - isn’t that how it always goes?? It wasn’t a bad relationship. It just was super not meant to be. But it was a breakup so I was sad. I was done with men! Again, isn’t that how it always goes? But really, I was. I was ready to focus on my relationship with Jesus, and myself, and my girlfriends and that was it.
My husband and I went to marriage counseling
It took postpartum depression and an accumulation of built up resentment to put us in marriage counseling just a few months after our first child was born. But it shouldn’t have. I believe marriage counseling isn’t just for couples that are in the trenches. Honestly, I wish we would have started even sooner. Before the stuff hit the fan. If you read the post on “honest thoughts about breastfeeding” you’ll see that it took a hormonal meltdown for us to begin seeking help.
