My IC thinks that my H is suffering from depression. She is trained specifically in dealing with male depression and says he exhibits the "acting out" and blaming symptoms that are typical of male depression but not female depression. Interesting... Some men turn to alcohol.. my H turns to other women. Great.... I've been gently pushing him to get help from a new IC.
H calls at least once every day while on vacation and I have so far resisted all urges to call him - came really close this afternoon and then the phone rang.. guess who?! I also got surprised with a nice card when I got home on the day he left. He does all the right things at home and probably does as many right things the few hours/wk he spends w/ow. I mean.. he has really listened and has addressed some of my "complaints" about the M. It is weird. Maybe it's all just to make himself feel better when he leaves for good. YOu know.. He can say to everyone "I tried.. See all of the things I tried to do to please my W". Do I sound extremely cynical or what????!
