All my life I have struggled with stomach problems and it sucks ! I have an extended colon kind of weird but its twice as long as everyone else's. Which means my stomach pinches off and blows up like a balloon if I eat something that upsets it or I feel nauseas all the time or my stomach is just super uncomfortable! Its really fun but about four months my stomach issues flared up 1000 times worse then ever and I battle with it every day... but I keep waking up and acting like nothings wrong and keep on keepin on I guess but its hard. I lost about 15 pounds even this round of stomach problems because sometimes it hurts my stomach to even digest things. I know super stupid right!? Anyways I gotten some things to help my stomach out a little better but im surviving I guess! To make matters worse my dream has been to travel with my husband on all his trips repairing water wells for people in need, but with all of these lovely things going on with my body I haven't been able to join him ! Its so stupid but as I get better hopefully I can go with him!
Marriage... kind of a bit nervous opening up about this because I never do but can I just say marriage is soooo stinken hard! I have been one that has defiantly struggled with it. I have been married for over a year now and I know people say first years the hardest but seriously it was very very hard we almost got a divorce through out these last four months! I hate saying that but its true and Im sure many of you don't believe it because we are best friends why the heck would we get divorced well LIFE is what happened! I have had my stomach problems come up again iv had two miscarriages we both lost our jobs at the beginning of the year and life is just hard and to deal with another person and all is just tough! We started going to a therapist and I am the first to say I am not ashamed of it! Therapists really do help I think and its helped a lot in our marriage. If any of you have any tips feel free to comment! I think what's helped us though is being honest not being so sensitive and trying to think about the other person more. My life is far from perfect and my life isn't all happy and sunflowers but here I am real as I can be. I also write things like this not just for my blog but its kind of a journal for me so sorry but not really this is me and my life. The end of my sob story ha ha it helps sometimes to just word vomit !
This is so refreshing to hear. As someone who's been married for almost 6 years to my high school sweetheart it feels like there has been times when I wouldn't change my life for anything and equally enough times where I wished we never got married. And then trow in social media and how it's almost impossible not to compare your circumstances and relationship and your struggles to everyone else seemingly perfect life. Don't give up girl! If you and your hubby are best friends that's a hell of a lot more to work with than what most people start their marriage off with. Thanks for being real! Love reading your blog
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I really loved the honestly and I respect you a ton for opening up about the challenges life throws at us. You go girl, keep pushing through!
ReplyDeleteI love your realness. Our world lacks this in so many ways, especially through the lens of social media. Life happens and we have to do our best to roll with the punches and not let it bring us down. That would definitely be a rough start to a marriage, but you will be grateful for it later. Hard times can build a strong foundation! Best of luck to you and your hubby!
ReplyDeleteJesse you're my favorite blonde bombshell ever. I love your words and they seriously help me trying to get through my struggles in life. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog Jess! Marriage is rough that first year. I wanted to run away about 20 X's that first year. It's taken me a while to realize as long as you like eachother, are good at communicating, and make time to play together you are set up for a great life! Keep writing cutie. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is so brave of you! I so admire you for opening up and talking about this because not many do. Unless they are divorced, but no one talks about it when they're in it or trying to work on things. And we need to. Marriage is so hard, and we all have to work at it. thank you for sharing your story!
