We don't care!" why would you put that if you follow her blog weekly, it doesn't make sense. I think that the public IS interested in peoples lives as long as it is inline with their views. If it is not the norm, then they are not happy with what was posted. You post that you read her blog every week, but then at the end of your comment you write "stop blogging about it.

The most significant gift I've received in this marriage (beyond my children) is that my husband has always treated me with kindness and respect, and can always be counted upon to be my safe haven." This is very sweet & essentially summarizes all that I believe I am missing from my marriage. We are in counseling now. He is super touchy and If I don't LOVE everything exactly as it is he gets very defensive, nasty and hurtful. He has no problem getting angry and not speaking to me for days, even when I have other family or work things going on I need a shoulder for. A safe haven...that would be amazing! I am so happy for you two. "I've been very happily married for 22 years.

I wish I had the courage to write about it or even knew what to say. At this moment he says he doesn't know what he wants. I've left the ball in his court for a week and then I must know something. This has been the worst time of my entire life. I'm not going to make it. My husband and I are very recently struggling in our marriage and I am very scared.

Troy Gardens, on the North Side, is a pioneer in urban agriculture; they sell food at the farmers market (and via CSA) and they get the community (especially kids) involved in growing the food. Claire Strader, who leads the operation, was recently named White House Farmer in an on-line election.
