Hi there JournoGirl,

My sympathies to you. Although I did not read every part of your story, it basically can be described as the bridge analogy between two individuals. It certainly looks as if you have been doing all the work to connect with him on the “other side”. Of course that can be frustrating because you are doing all the work to try and connect with him. Just as Anita mentioned, it would be best to break away from this emotionally draining….. well suffocating situation no matter what your husband tries to do to try and string this relationship along. If this continues it will be as if you are digging a hole each and every time deeper and deeper and to be honest JournoGirl, I can hardly see you with the deep hole you have dug.
All the best.
Thank you and take care.
