Thought I would post on piecing hoping it would bring me good luck. A brief description of my sitch: Married 23 years tomorrow is our anniversary. H - 52 Me - 48 2 children - 20 and 17 About 2 1/2 years ago, H started developing relationship with OW. Just a friendship as he called it. But I feel it is definitely an EA. We all work together so this is uncomfortable to say the least. H said he was unhappy in our M. I didn't give him enough attention. Too wrapped up in the kids and my job. H felt very neglected. In some ways he was right. I made some changes in myself and we are doing a little better. Jumping to now: OW still in the picture but not nearly as much. Some R talks but not a lot. H has seemed depressed for a while. Experienced some losses-two close friends passed away within this time. Most recently his mother has been a victim of a violent crime and is currently in ICU making very slow progress. This has just about put him over the edge. I am very worried about him. I sort of put dbing on hold and I'm trying to help him through this. However, he is not talking to me much. Although I have been working on my own PMA and making myself a better person, for now I'm concentrating on being available for him and trying hard to meet his needs at this time. Right now we're under a lot of stress. I feel so bad for him. Lyn
