Hybrid Husband Comes Clean...

Okay, I know it's only my third blog and all.  I know I am supposed to keep the magic going - I'm supposed to dazzle you.  But today I am going to break tradition.

You should sit down for this.  The Hybrid Husband is coming clean.

I am not happy 100% of the time.  There, I said it!  Wait.  My shoulders still feel heavy.  So let me put it another way, the Hybrid Husband feels the stress!  Hmm...

As anyone who has raised children knows they are a FULL TIME JOB - especially little ones who can't speak up for themselves.  But just like any job they come with perks and benefits and sometimes with a large bonus in their diaper.  However, when you are working full time @ MBC Law Firm, trying to stay fit, keeping a marriage strong, watering the lawn, washing the car, managing the finances, making dinner, etc. the stress builds and the pressure mounts.  And I'm the type of person who takes stress and builds it up mentally until it is a colossal pile of steaming poo!

And that's where therapy comes in.  Hybrid Husbands need a tune up.  Especially when they are red-lining five or six days a week.  I started seeing my therapist again on Tuesday.  She's wonderful but one session is no cure.  I have another scheduled for this coming Tuesday and I assume the Tuesday following.  Sure, there is a part of me that is embarrassed to say this but there is also a larger part of me who knows it helps.  I don't have to endure this alone and I don't have to heap my BS onto my wife either.  If only to blab for an hour to an objective listener, therapy works.

So any other hybrid husbands out there who want to do the manly thing and keep your issues to yourself, I say, go ahead.  I just know what works for me.  And getting it out and getting some mental help sure feels a lot better.

Peace Out,
