I want to work it out. Maybe I should pack my things. I'm here no matter what. Maybe you should just give me the divorce papers. I didn't mean it, I thought it was what you wanted. I'm not a fricking yo yo thank you very much, so just quit yanking me around on your little emotional string. (end rant)

You are definitely not a yo-yo.. However, if you feel like you are being treated like one, try talking. If talking doesn't help, try counseling.. if nothing ever work, and it is every-time everything on your part only, then you have to have a serious talk. If you have tried countless times and the results are still the same, it's time to make a decision. For better or worst.. but if possible, try to avoid the D word. I know you have the every determination to work it out. Stay strong aite, Dawn..

Oh my! He shouldn't, really.. Try not to think about it so much, Dawn..let's just hope he will realize what he had suggested and regret it.

Oh he DOES. And yet I just know he will say something stupid like that again next time he gets frustrated...

Stay put with children. Do not leavde your home. Let him yo yo off into yo yo land. Up down and around. Up down and around. Wow! He's hit a snag and can't yank the yo yo. The yo yo is just dangling there all sad. Marityal conflict therapy takes two people, not one.

Are you talking of your marriage, Dawn? My ex (we never made it to the alter but lived together) went up and down like that. It is enough to make you crazy. He'd be cold for days & days. When I'd be ready to leave, suddenly I would get flowers...romantic dinners. I loved him and did want things to work. It was when I was done..,,.no matter what he did...I was on my way out and not looking back....that was when his true colors really showed up vibrantly. He got so so mean and vicious and the mind games were over the top. I got out and have no regrets. You need to think of your own happiness, Dawn.

Yeah I am. I do need to think of that and of the kids too. I'm not sure if this divorce talk is what he says it is, ie what he thought I wanted or if it's some kind of emotional blackmail.

Sometimes in extreme anger and frustration things are said and not really meant. However i don't buy into that totally. At times what we say in anger.. i dont mean pissed off or just annoyed.. i mean full blown "i am so hurt i want you to know a thing or two" sort of anger.. that to some extent what we say is derived from a truth. Ranting is a way to get all that emotional gunk out otherwise you'll feel like exploding! I know what you mean... and sometimes i feel like saying just get it over with already and make up your mind. Try to be patient.. easier said than done i know.. but all you can do is try.

A lot of times people say things in anger that they DO mean but wouldn't normally say. In this case, a certain person said some things, supposedly because he thought it was what I wanted. So it was just dumb. But it felt very much like manipulation...

You hit the nail on the head right there.. people say what they mean in anger but wouldn't usually say. It is a "the gloves are off" sort of thing. If it felt like manipulation it most likely is. Some people have a hobby of trying to make people miserable.. it is like they took classes on the matter or something lol

hi dawnald sorry to hear things arent going well for you. I'think I must have found a fourleaf clover when I met my husband as he'was one in a zillion.faithful, fun loving oh he had his faults but they were really minor,none of the yo yoing some many mylotters have.What is in the mind of someone who enjoys yanking ones chain? apower trip?I would joke about this but it sounds serious to me. take care.

I'm not thinking he enjoys it, just he either 1) needs to vent or 2) is trying to get a reaction from me. But news flash - it's not working!!!
