That was really helpful - lots of great insight there. Thanks Sandi!
My H was actually very pleasant and helpful last night. When I came home from the grocery store he was getting the trash ready to go out. We actually cleaned out the refrigerator together.
And then wow tragedy struck - my husband's best friend called. Our friend (his best friend's wife - the couple going through the divorce and then one my H has spent so much time on the phone with)tried to kill herself last night. She left a note that no one loved her - her children, husband etc.
She wouldn't talk to her H and would only talk to my H. So I went with my H to the hospital last night (she didn't know I was there). My H said he was so angry for putting himself in this position (getting caught between the two of them). He said he really is the only friend she has. He doesn't think she's opened up at all to her mother or sister. I'm hoping she'll get the help she needs now. Her therapist had told her she only needed to see him/her every other week. Boy - did that therapist miss this!
Long story short, my H was so appreciative of the support I showed him. He thanked me for who I am last night which really meant a lot. He kept apologizing for the situation last night as well.
Went to bed with a migraine and woke up with it again this morning. I am very concerned for her and my heart breaks that it came to his. Her H is so cold-hearted! I'm very concerned for their children (teenagers)as well.
