Husband's Mid-Life Crisis

[addie]

My H denied OW to me over and over as well. Even after he moved out, he told me there was no OW. He only stopped denying it when I printed off an email of him asking OW to go away with him for a few days.

My H was also very much in love with me. He wrote me poetry, wrote beautiful inscriptions when he would give me a card, told me over and over how much he loved me. A couple of weeks before he started to distance himself, he said to S: S your mom is even more beautiful now than the day we were married. Soon after that comment, he stopped becoming affectionate. It's frightening how it can all change just like that.

nlt, you have to pull yourself together when you see your H. You can't allow him to see how devastated you are. Cry before and after he's there. He hasn't seen you in weeks and you haven't had much contact with him other than a few emails/calls. It's your one chance to make a positive impression on H. Try to act as if you are ok and moving on with your life.
