Hmm I wonder if he has any depression issues? I sounds kind of similar to my sitch except as far as I know there isn't OM. My wife is dysthymic and we had a terrible family tragedy a few months ago. Now she is being the typical WAW and doing what most dysthymic people do when they are frazzled and at the end of their rope. Hurt the one they love the most that is not immediate family. I know that I have my problems and there were some things I could have addressed 2 or 3 months ago when we seemed to suddenly be growing apart. This is our first year of M (anniv is 6/20) and it seems like this tragedy brought our honeymoon stage to some other relationship stage faster than it should have. Anyway, hopefully her fog lifts while I am things for myself. It does sound promising that you guys have contact. My wife and I haven't said much in the last 10 days... 10 days isn't a long time though.
