Anybody out there who can talk a minute?

[Return10]

My immediate situation is that I have been visiting my daughter and granddaughter who like most people have issues and I'm trying to help. Some of these were very stressful. My H arrived and I felt like "Hurray the reinforcements". Wrong. He got all despondent essentially because the world didn't immediately start revolving around him. So he got his wish in that everybody's attention shifted to "what's wrong with him?" I've self destructively eaten more cheesecake and here I am writing while he's sleeping peacefully. I'm wishing I was married to a less depressive guy. The end of August, I will get to do two weeks of something I love and I can't wait. Part of his being bummed is me spending time away from taking care of him but I'm feeling like I'd like a lot more time away after this. I tried to talk to him about it. He said he was "punched in the stomach and shocked" because their busy lives have them not having meals together so there was no dinner. Right now, I'd like to walk away. I'm going to try hard to eat healthy. (There's plenty of healthy food here, thanks to me.) I'm so sick of not having an emotionally functioning partner. What's more is that this is a guy who can rise to most any occasion for work but not for his family. He's a workaholic who has nothing left. I'm grateful for his job and it's perks, especially in this economy but shesh!
