I have been lurking on these boards since September and only tonight did I get the nerve to post My story - on vacation (8/06)with the family ( husband and 16 year old daughter) My husband was irritable, moodly, sullen and snapping at me at every turn. I finally turn to him in front of my daughter on the subway and say - are you ok - what is wrong with you? Later that evening we take a walk away from the kiddo and he drops the bomb - I dont love you anymore - I dont want to be married, I am interestd in seeing someone else etc etc he is 49 I am 46 daughter 16 years married 21 years together 26 After a few days of ignoring what he said - we talked again and I went into begging mode - dont blow up our family, please see a counselor with me etc etc We saw a Marriage counselor who happens to be familiar with DBing ( a coincidence but I took it as a sign) my husband is confused and doesnt know what he wants - he is still living here - treats me like his roomate - says he is only staying for kid and no money to leave he is now going to counseling on his own starting tonight - our MC recommended someone I have been trying to work on myself - I struggle everyday with this - I feel so lonely in my own home has anyone else had same type situation where MLC spouse sought counseling on their own - I also see a therapist since thsi all happened I want to badly to know what is being said in that therapy session - but I know I have to give him his space - any advice anyone ? Thank you all
