Me2,
It's part of the confusion. I still see it in W's actions from time to time. If your H is similar, he probably does not think much about goals or the future or planning on how to achieve goals.

This is not natural human behavior unless there is still pain, confusion or both overiding the desire to plan for the future. In our crisis, my W told our C that she does'nt plan beyond next week.

That was then and now is now. Things have and are changing.
