Julie, post away on my thread, please! I am sick of my own sitch, would rather read about others. I understand why you made that comment, and I also understand why it hurt your H. I think when you reach a point of being disconnected and hurt, and especially when your children are hurting, it is so easy to lash out and make the situation worse. This is where you need to take a deep breath and walk away for a minute. I have learned that, but it might be too late now for my M.
Interesting how alike our H's are. The workaholic traits, the drinking, putting his parents on a pedestal, disconnected from kids, the aloofness.
I think you said your H is travelling now? How long is he gone?
