Can't journal
Basically venting, although I'm more sad /depressed than annoyed. I'm (M34) a writer, and although I have notebooks full of random shit everywhere, I don't journal (haven't in years) because I'm afraid my wife (F38) will read them. Not that I write anything terrible, but journaling is a private activity. She's read one of my journals before we got married. I came home and she told me how happy she was because I had written nice things about her. I was upset, but what could I say? Took me a few years to get over it; eventually I decided "this is marriage," and gave it up.
We were organizing recently, and she came across a bin of my notebooks and writing supplies. I told her it was nothing important, and she responded with "What? You have personal stuff in here?" I let it go because "this is marriage."
Crazy thing is, I'd have no problem letting her read my journal if she asked. But I can't take the thought of her rummaging through my private thoughts while I'm out working a bullshit job. I'm hoping I can journal again when I learn to write cursive in another language.
