Yeah, 12 years is a long time but we were 16/17 at that time. So we were way too young. We got married when I was 21 and he was 20 back in 2001. I tend to think people who were "of age" when they got married have much better chances of lasting. But we still kept saying that we were a good match, up 'till the summer.
I think the pregnancy is the trigger. But I don't know if that means that he will come around after the birth. He is very serious that he does not want to be a full-time dad. He could be a weekend dad, he told me, but nothing more. And I think it could take him years to get over that idea, too, even with therapy.
He hadn't been suicidal before, but he has always been a little dramatic. (Writing poetry, crying at songs, that kind of thing.) His therapist says that the suicidal thoughts were directly related to the adjustment disorder. He's been very clear that he is not feeling like he wants to die anymore. (Partially because "the problem"-- baby and me-- aren't in the daily picture!)
I can't figure WH out. Really, his story changes a lot because he doesn't know what is happening. But what I described is how it makes sense to me.
In other news, just got my pregnancy photos! I think they came out well. And I did a bunch of nude shots. My photographer said she wished she would have done that when she was pregnant: to preserve that body in time! They are all just for me, but if I get married again, I'm sure I'll show him. (They're partially FOR that new husband!) And if my WH can ever deal with it and want to be with me, then I'd show him. I guess. Little nervous about that one.
It's 11:11! Make a wish! Okay, done.
