Heywyre, You're right. Even when we're coping as well as we can, there is still emotional pain--fear, loneliness, sadness. etc..
I'm reading a book called "Happiness" by Matthieu Riccard. It's a combination of Buddhism and psychology. I read today that happiness can continue even with emotional turbulence. He said to think of our emotions as waves at the top of an ocean. Our center is in the stillness of the depths. Both can coexist.
Take care of yourself while your H is working on his issues, and doesn't have the capacity to be available for you at this time.
