Absolutely true, Mila... why don't they mention it. Jack, no, he didn't in my case. He never said anything. I noticed he was withdrawing and I pursued, which caused him to withdraw more, and ultimately I chose the wrong path and became angry at his withdrawal rather than being a good friend and wife, and being compassionate, patient and understanding, I pushed him away. However, to throw away 12 years on 6 months of problems is insane, to my mind. Twink, don't you just want to scream! How will you know if you don't let ME KNOW? So crazy they are. lalxx - that sounds familiar. We had such a great marriage, so much love and passion and friendship and he just withdrew and it was a riddle that I didn't pay enough attention to in time, so by the time I figured it out, it was too late.
