Oh wow. You should call Apple and see if they'll give you your nickel commission on that song-I just bought it (after listening to the sample) and I'm in tears.
So glad you told your doc. I happened to see mine after H told me he was unhappy and then saw him again about two weeks after he moved out. And I did break down and it was hard to get the words out, but I managed to do it. It was good for you to say something. I'm a pretty open book; I have told people from the beginning that we're separated. It's not a secret and not something I'm hiding. I do think HE is though. I don't think many of his friends have any clue.
Snodderly, I love reading your wisdom on MLC posts. It's so foreign and strange to us as we watch our spouses go through this. I really feel like a Monster has taken over H. He looks older, more tired, haggard but has his same happy-go-lucky face on like he always does. He's struggled with depression for years, so I suppose this is similar. He's in such denial that it amazes me. How can such an intelligent man not see this for what it is? Craziness.
Hopper, I know what you mean when you talk about the twin that has taken over. I sadly think my H's twin took over when his friend died and has been there ever since. There are moments when I feel like the H I knew died when his friend did and will never return. I pray that I'm wrong. I know some people never come out of the tunnel and I fear that my H may be stuck in it forever. I have pity for him for that-I can't imagine being depressed and miserable for the rest of my existence. How painful that must be. I have faith that you and your H will make it through, though. Your interactions with your H are nearly the polar opposite of what I have with my H. Mine doesn't want to spend any time with me at all. Nothing more than what is necessary to move the kids around. He's nice and almost annoyingly friendly but would never think of asking me out to dinner or anything like that. I have high hopes for you. You're in my prayers as always.
