I understand about the emotional roller-coaster. One moment my husband loves me with all his heart, the next, our marriage is over, he knows I have a boyfriend, I'm spending all his money... last night, for the first time I laid in the dark and cried.
It's been at least 6 years, 24/7, and I'm looking for someone to come in twice a week so I can go for a walk, shop, see friends or just drive somewhere and sleep in my car, uninterrupted for a couple of hours.
Doctors can't help much because it's been difficult to get him there. (He also suffers from chronic pain)
Sorry for the long post, just needed to reach out this morning.
I appreciate all your wisdom here.
Hi, my husband is also very self-focused, and that was so frustrating. I finally read on this blog somewhere that it has to do with their self-preservation and need to inwardly focus so they can cope with their situation. That did help a little but the frustration will not end.
Hang in there we shall!
