My husband came by this afternoon to fix the outside faucet on the house. He was very rude, curt, and hateful to me. This started with him about a month ago. Up until that time, we were going out to dinner with each other once a week. Now, he has turned into a monster. I realize that is a something they do, and I hate this monster!! Does this last a long time? Today when he was telling me that he can't wait for the divorce to be over so he won't have to see me or talk to me ever again, I wanted to kill him and hug him at the same time. And then I thought, great, now I'm cracking up!
So, right now I am really depressed and discouraged. I do not believe in divorce. But, I think if he doesn't come out of this I am headed for one anyway. One thing I don't understand is how can they come out of this if they have cut off communication with their family, church, old friends, etc.? He is surrounded by people who are patting him on the back for leaving his wife. It's his new group of low life friends that he would have never even associated with before.
How have the rest of you midlife veterans coped with monster? This is pure hell on earth and I'm not sure I will be able to go through it all without some pointers from people who have gone before me! I have read all of the resources. Guess I just need some more help.
