Just Sent This To My Therapist. Count Down To Downhill

Don't say any more. I get it. In the same boat with my husband since Friday night.

I can't handle strange men, especially when taken by surprise. The thing is, I always hope for support and understanding from him, but being a logical thinking person, he can't get it.

My husband has been observing me since the beginning (5yrs ago this past weekend). He is a big part of a lot of why's. So he's had ample opportunity to help, join in therapy, just chooses not to.

In a sense, your husband just got hit over the head. A lot of light bulbs might come on for him now. He may be able to connect some dots. Maybe join you in whatever capacity he can. - or not.

I wouldn't put too much stalk in his being able to process much for a while. He may need help to deal with this, but as hard as it is, some open face to face communication needs to happen now, I would caution you to be ready to do a lot of listening and perhaps not too much probing or adding to whatever he needs to vent.

Apparently my response never went through yesterday. Oh well.

He met me for a walk after he got off. He complained about not feeling good. I ended up asking him why he came if he didn't feel good ( I had to wait 40 minutes on him. Otherwise I could have already been going plus he does this kind of crap alot). He turns around and says I'm leaving. And walks away. Not once did he ask me how I was, not one apology for making me wait then leaving, nothing. This is routine for him. That was the final straw. As soon as I have the money I'm out
 
Irkkk, I'm sorry. It's not a help for sure. Does he generally give a reason? How are you personally today?
 
I bet. I hate it when marriages break up, but maybe this will help you to take back the control you lost and give you a purpose and goal. Something to help push forward. You could do with some positives.

It probably feels like another rejection.
 
I guess I haven't read far enough back...or other threads, so forgive my ignorance...but what's his issue? Is he struggling with something or generally miserable with life?

He's a former, or so be says, porn addict, and yeah just miserable. He is no supporter that's for sure
 
I can totally relate to that! I have a support system of 2 here. One of them is not my husband, sad as that is. My PTSD has effected him in huge ways and he's had to pick up the slack when I just can't...or when he decides I'm slacking off.

A really awful please, ace to be. To you feel good about your decision?
