"The simple explanation for my response is that while I was at work I was distracted from the reality of my marriage. Driving home I would often have to fight tears, because although I could distract myself while at work, now I was going to have to face the then unhappiness that was our relationship. That yawning pit of loneliness within me would rear up larger and larger the closer I got to home along with the ingrained dread that it was never going to change."

"You're dealing with the fear that you're going to do something to make it worse. You have a flicker of hope on occasion that it's going to be different this time. Your heart is exposed and beating rapidly behind your protective shield longing to make a connection with your spouse. There are rushes of anger when you think this doesn't have to be so hard and waves of despondency that it is so hopeless."
Ummm, can I just give one big ditto to the statements here or do I have to ditto each instance.
