Hi
My marriage, which I considered happy, until I've been told otherwise in the last week, of 28 years would seen to be on the rocks. My husband is telling me, after a period of what I'd describe as work related stress, says he is unhappy with his life, feels frustrated by work & at home and wishes time away on his own. I find this very hard to take as it has come straight out of the blue to me, the situation disintegrating rapidly over the period of a week - I am absolutely distraught. I love my husband, my family and our life together - he has never been anything other than kind, loving & supportive, until now. He is now someone I can't seem to reach, cold towards me (ok with others) will not let me reason with him over working together to improve things, just becomes increasingly frustrated by me asking questions & trying to get to the root of things - at points completely uncommunicative, silent.
I really don't know where to turn, I was 15 when I met him, he has been my life - the person I have relied on in times of trouble is now the cause of my upset. Can anyone help, I feel very desperate to save my marriage - I don't recognise this man, I feel quite afraid I will never get the same one back again - feel like I am grieving.
