H came this morning to take kids to school, then came back to the house to get some things for his flat. He was tense and I asked him to stop speaking to me with so much anger, that I'd accept some responsibility but not blame, that I was being kind and friendly and that I hated to see him so angry and cold and tense. He denied, then calmed down. I gave him a hand putting an old sofa into a trailer. He told me that he'd just lost the desire to make love to me, feelings of love for me. That he "didn't know" if we could get back together, asked me to "give him time". 4 months ago, he was shouting at me that it was "over", "finished", I was "useless" and "incapable", etc.And that was in front of the kids. This morning, we were alone, he could have been as categorical as he liked, but his tone is mellowing, he's not so sure. When I say he's "cold and angry", I mean he's got a severe expression on his face, rarely smiles, won't look me in the eye. He shouted for the first month. Now he's just "let's get this over with".
Anyway, I felt a little more hopeful after. He seems not to be relishing his freedom as he thought he would. No laughs, no smiles. Work pressure but no family company. OW? I don't know or want to know. Or raher, I don't want to spy, but I wish HE'd explain where that story's at. Have they split? Does she want him back? Has she already got someone new? All possibilities. I even thought he was on a dating internet site, for a while.
What you say makes sense. But when a man "falls out of love" with his wife, can he ever fall back in love again? What can I do in my situation to foster that? I see him briefly quite often, but don't text or phone. All communication comes from him, unless child-related.I have them most of the time - he works when they're off school - so getting a life isn't so easy. I don't have a lot of child-free time outside of work. A sitting duck, you might say. Thanks. NCU
