hurtandlost - I agree with your point about him needing validation. I wonder if this is something I didn't do enough or if the kind of validation he's looking for is something that has to come from within...his own self-pride kinda thing. Maybe my saying that he doesn't have to get a job if he doesn't want to or something is making him worse. This could get really confusing.
DomR- Yes, he's a "bored housewife". But I am not a work-a-holic! I am home every evening by 5 or so, we bowl on a league two nights a week. Oddly enough, we still hold hands, kiss, hug, touch, have private jokes all that...no one would ever suspect there was a problem. We haven't hugged since Sunday though now, because of my suspicions.
Oh, and yes, I also suspect he thinks I sent the email. I've left it alone and am now too afraid to check it again! LOL!
Sue- My husband has had many many many job issues in the past. And I think he feels the same way. I believe he has self-worth, self-confidence, self-whatever issues and it is now affecting EVERYTHING including our marriage. I can only hope he's willing to talk to a counselor too, when the time comes.
