We were separated at the time, but still very connected... My father, who was 89 at the time, had just suffered an aortic aneurysm... miraculously, he survived, but it was traumatic for my family. My H was supportive... I was not in an actual affair during this time... We both thought it would be good for me to get away... My H thought something was wrong with me... Since my niece (who is my age and like a sister to me) knew of our issues, I felt safe going to stay with her for a few weeks... Which turned in to 18 months...
At the time I asked my H if he was just trying to send me away... He assured me he wasn't... But after all was said and done, that is what he was doing... He knew he needed to be away from me and saw this as the only real way it could happen...
