You know BBJ, I am going to voice what is likely to be a disliked post here.
Reality, he may just be that depressed. His life is falling to shiite and he has put himself in a very bad position. He is failing and probably feeling that at every twist and turn in his life right now.
So reality, I think you did well calling the hotline and you do need to ask him straight out. Reality is if he is suicidal you may be the one stable person that he would reach out to. He knows where the one person who truly cares about him is. So do not ever take anything like that in jest and for God's sakes don't ever assume he is playing you. Because the one time you turn a blind eye and he does do something stupid, you would be the one paying for it emotionally for the rest of your life.
So kudos to you for doing the right thing. No matter what happens to us with our spouses, it is very important for us to continue to be the moral and ethical person that we want to be in our short time here on earth. You showed integrity and solid moral decisions today... Good for you not allowing the negativity or anger to control your true self....

I will echo that one! And as is usually the case with Ian, I would not have been able to say it better myself.
You don't surprise me a bit BobbiJo. You are outstanding. The Lord in Heaven loves to watch you shine the way you do. You will be blessed many times over my dear. You just keep being you. And watch and wait cuz you are going to see miracles.
I will be praying for Dan of course and for you and the kids. The spiritual battle wages on. We don't stop until the devil is driven out. Amen.
