Is this normal or am I going crazy?
| Sat, 06-16-2007 - 2:39pm |
My husband has not even moved out yet. We are working out finances at the moment. I come to the decision that I need my life back. I haven't had my life in 20 years. I've lived for my marriage and family. And I feel better. The pain becomes just a dull ache. Then he comes home and I start thinking of ways to try to stay together. Why? I don't know why I keep going back and forth. One minute I feel good, the next my stomach and heart aches and I need to cry. I think I am going crazy. He told me he loves me as a woman, but not a wife. He feels no affection for me as a wife. He said it is because he was never the marrying type and we would have been better off just being together without a piece of paper. So as I start to feel better, I sink back down again. And this isn't one DAY of feeling good or bad, this is minute by minute. One minute I'm ready to kick him to the curb, and the next I want to hold him and have him tell me we will stay together. I can't even keep up with my emotions any more. Is this normal?

Believe it or not, your post offered me a great deal of comfort. I,too, have been going through this emotional roller coaster--we've been separated but living under the same roof for 1 1/2 year (complex financial issues and he lives part of the year out of state due to work). I've been perfectly fine, but this summer something happened and I've totally fallen apart. He's in shock over my new emotional state, but so am I. I thought I was losing my mind until I read your post and all these replies.
Hugs to you...I wish I could take you out for coffee and comfort and comraderie because you sound like you're going through the same pain I am, so I really know how you feel!
