Sage,

Yours is the 2nd correspondence that I have seen over the past weekend where I went back several times to see if it was a joke or a dream or something else real...

At the risk of sounding really dumb, I'm going to go for it here.

I hate to say it but your H's response to this whole shebang sounds an awful lot like something I used to do. Yes, it's crazymaking... and I used to make outrageous statements to pick fights so that the other person could poke at me long enough for me to get out some reason I was feeling [XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX] whatever I was feeling. (Lonely, fearful, angry, guilty??? You name it)

What else is going on with him that he would feel the need to jump from one extreme to another? Look beyond the obvious? You guys have been smooth sailing for so long now and he has given you no indicator that he's been heading in another direction.

Bad news from school? Something that is making him fearful?

Hugs,

Betsey
