Thanks Hopeful, that makes a lot of sense. He refers to the space thing often. And while I don't think it's right (you can't just leave your wife and kid and act like a teenager!) I also get it. And so if space is what he needs, it's what he'll get. Although it scares me that it will just be a relief to him and a way for him to move on and be glad he doesn't have me bothering him anymore. Would your husband giving you space but occasionally saying he loved you have done any good?

The other think that strikes me in all of this is just how selfish he is in general now. Example: his grandpa died last week. Rather than go to the funeral with the rest of his family on Saturday he hung out with friends.
