I know what you mean - and it doesn't sound greedy or nasty. Our financial decisions have always been based on two incomes - our retirement, everything. Now that is all turned around.
D told me more about her and S's conversation with H. She said that they kept pushing H on how what he's doing and saying doesn't make sense - and he said "what - do you want me to say it - I don't want to be with your mom" OUCH!!! All the tapes start playing again in my head - "why aren't I good enough / why doesn't he want me /" D said it made her sick how he would be so fake so nice to everyone else around where they were - all the while killing the one's closest to him. He has heaped ALL of his unhappiness on ME. It doesn't make me want to give up standing - it just challenges me. Have there been reconciliations on this board where a spouse has felt this way and somehow found his way home? Is this the MLCr's way ~ all blame for unhappiness lumped on the LBS? Just checking to make sure this is standard MO for MLC.
