I am concerned about being a safety net for him. I do try to remain detached although it is so difficult attimes.
I have had no contact today with him after the flurry of texts over 48 hours.
A mutual friend met him yesterday for the first time since May and was shocked how ill and depressed he looked. He thnked her for supporting me and then discussed some of his childhood identifying areas where he was angry. My friend said she had never seen him so angry and she has known us 20 years. He talked about his parents and brother. He also discussed his brothers ex W and said how angry he was that she had left and his brother had never really recovered, and that she had no right to do this and make him so unhappy! His B has been divorced for 16 years after she left for another man.
I was surprised he said all this to her.
H is coming tomorrow to seee the children and I have been invited out when he is at home, so I won't see him this week.
