First, DH, I'm sorry about your sitch. I try to remember that I'm pretty fortunate that my H is still around...and still ML to me. My heart hurts for you, and others, who don't have their spouse around.
I guess my H and I cycle with the ML thing. He has tried a few times the past month to be more affectionate. It almost always leads to ML, but he keeps telling me that it doesn't have to. When he's not spewing and mad, he tells me that he is trying to do more of what I need (more of the affection stuff). Maybe today was just an off day.
I felt used and got angry and crazy and emotional...but I'm thinking now, hours later, that I probably over-reacted...and he ran away fast to his friends to get away from the "emotional" me.
And, thanks for the reminder that I need to do what I feel is right for me sitch. It is quite different when the spouse is still at home, still physical with you...and yet, running away every few days. It's confusing. You know?
