Stranger in my bed

Sometimes decisions we make are based on the emotions we feel at that time.We don't always think things through and weigh the good and bad aspects of things .Jumping into things with our hormones raging and no thoughts of tomorrow,a lot of us are guilty of this .


What is your reaction when you wake up one morning and realize theres a stranger in your bed?Pure horror right,think about going to bed next to that person every night and waking up feeling like he's a complete stranger.Think about if this person is the one you chose to be your mate,that's even more horrifying!How do you recover from this?Do you continue to be miserable and pretend that nothing is wrong or do you confront the issue and move on?

What if you realize you have nothing in common with you spouse ?The days of the hot and steamy romance are long gone,the kids are demanding and your spouse is stuck in the past when there were no children and less responsibilities.


Think about it, when you first meet someone and you are being swept off your feet you hardly ever pay attention to those little flaws you see in the other person.You may overlook the fact that he or she is not that bright mentally.You may also overlook their tendency to get jealous.You may even overlook the fact that their earning potential is minimal at best thinking that Love will help you get through hard times.I am here to tell you I have never seen love pay one bill! Critical things to overlook,how does a person recover?

Do you have a stranger in your bed?

Some very deep questions. I would love to hear some of your answers to these. They might help some people who read your blog.

One of the few certainties in life is "change." Everything changes--people are constantly in a state of change--either growing or receding. When two people are together, they have to work at growing together. If they don't, they will grow in different directions. I would suggest that someone who is 'sleeping with a stranger' first see if the problems can be worked out, and if both people are willing to work them out or not. If so, get help (pastor or professional counselor). If not, it's time to move on so that both of you can continue on your appointed paths.

Or you can call the po-lice.

It does make sense to seek counseling.People do grow apart and it seems to happen even more when there is financial strain in a relationship.I believe that if 2 people make an honest effort to make things work they will make it past the hardships.If you have 1 person giving 75% and the other person giving 25% there is clearly going to be an issue and the person carrying the most weight is gonna get worn out,become disgusted and stop giving at all.

I know money worries put a financial strain on relationships, but sometimes the issue is that two people probably shouldn't have married or gotten together at all. I do believe everything happens for a reason, but some of those things are just for a season.
