I realized that the sadness and emptiness that I've been feeling lately aren't unfamiliar. I realized that my H has been putting up emotional walls and shutting me out for a long time.
The feelings of loneliness and emptiness can be so overwhelming. I don't always feel the pain so acutely but I realized the holes have always been there and the level or the depth just varies over time.
he will never be able to fully love me or any other person. And if he can't give me the emotional support that I'm so desperate for, I won't be able to stay in the marriage.
LA, you put into words what I feel quite often. This is part of what caused our huge fight in June that led H to say he was done. I feel empty as well, and also get the "I've tried so hard, blah blah blah". Well, maybe so, but not in our love languages.
I'm glad that you came to this realization, and hopefully this will prevent OM3 and will maybe lead you to where ever you need to be someday. It sounds like your communications are still on the positive level.
