Thanks Mark. Yes, my husband was always a workaholic. But he also did find ways to communicate. Communication was not his strongest suit but we did find a way to connect. Now something has changed!

I am struggling to love myself in all this. You are absolutely right – I have dumped myself for him. I think to some extent it is immaterial as to why he changed. Only thing matters is how I get out of this mess internally first since that is the only thing I can control. I need some actionable tasks to help me get out of this rut. My son is young and I need to save myself before it is late. The first step to change this has been the hardest but I thank you for pointing the most simplest and the obvious truth here.
