So I have read this thread 3 times now. I think my H falls into the P A mode. I have felt for years that he withholds intimancy. He says he stayed with me 12 years ago for the kids.
Not sure why, as he doesn't do anything with them unless I'm suggesting it or we are all together. He certainly never got involved in scouts or sports. That was me. Oh wait, ONE TIME he took the pinewood derby track, refurbished it and drove it to several meets. The past few days he is making sure I know how he has no desire for me. Don't know why he is trying so hard to be mean. I have lost 76 pounds in the last 2.5 years. I am looking amazing.
It seems like he doesn't want me to look amazing. I run into people I haven't seen and they don't recognize me. My own son didn't realize I had walked up to him the other day.
He said to me that when I used to say I was small-boned he didn't understand what that ment. Now he says that he see a petite trim woman and he knows what I ment.
Oh well, maybe someday I will get smart and take my marbles and go find another place to play!
