On the other side of this. How are you taking care of yourself? very well. Do you have a life for yourself outside these issues? I started a book club that meets monthly rotating homes, I've started a mom's night out club that goes out monthly for dinner, dancing, drinks, karaoke, etc. I joined the local volunteer ambulance co, became and emt and attend montly training meetings, I have play dates with the kids, I get together with my "childhood" friends pretty regularly (at least a handful of times per year) I've got a pretty active life. just joined a dinner club (this one may be better than the rest because it's couples so h will join at least most of the time) that will meet monthly rotating homes. Your H is a very long way from being able to help on ANY of these even if he suddenly saw the light or any part of it. I'm not expecting my h to act as a cure all for all that may ail me I'm simply expecting him to be a friend, lover, husband not just a breadwinner.
