Feeling Numb

[Elly4]

Hello Elly, this is my first post on your thread. We have some things in common. My wife is in another bedroom also.
The funny thing is I sleep better without her under these circumstances. Before she moved out , it was so tense.
I was afraid I might touch her by mistake. How about you, do you sleep better now?

You commented about your husbands silence. Is he silent with you a lot?
My wife will not say a word to me unless she has to. I really miss talking with her.
How do you cope with his silent treatment?

Hi Mutatio! Thanks for swinging by on my thread! It does sound like we have many commonalities. I too am preferring to sleep alone. I don't have to deal with the tension as well. I am sleeping somewhat better, but it's still difficult for me to know he's just in the next room.

His silence is annoying, especially when he's laughing at his cell phone. If my son is awake, I go and play with him and try not to notice what my H is doing. If my S is asleep, I head up to my bedroom if it's really bothering me. I have an office up there that I can hang in. What do you do to deal with the silence?

My H has been my best friend for over 20 years and I totally miss talking with him. In reality though, he's not here right now. There is a stranger in his place that I don't know. I can only hope that my H shows up again. Maybe the aliens have them. It helps for me to think of the situation that way. I'm also coming very close to dropping the rope.

You don't deserve to be in this place either. None of us do, but because we are here, it's great to have the support that surrounds us.

I wish you many blessings.
