Stonewalling
Relationship Stress / by bluePenguin1715

...See more Hi, Is there anyone here that has stonewalled their spouse? My husband and I just decided to separate and are unsure if we will divorce. In the next few months, he will use the time to heal from past traumas and unhealed wounds. He admitted to needing help and said he didnt want to be selfish and keep putting me through this. In the meantime, could anyone give me advise? I want to make sure I do the right thing. Thank you

Dealing with resentment and work
Relationship Stress / by bluePenguin1715

...See more Hello, ive been married for 6 yrs now and im at a point where i have anxiety 24/7 and its affecting my daily things even work. When my husband and I started dated he was extremely, even overwhelmingly affectionate, but I loved it. My issue was that I grew up being ashamed and embarrassed to be affectionate, (physically and verbally) but my husband taught me that it was okay to receive affection. At this point I was still having trouble initiating any sort of affection but I was trying. When we got married, I shut down and later on (couple years later sadly) I realized I was homesick and just didnt know how to recognize emotions. This created so much resentment from my husband and now I feel its too late as the years have gone by and sometimes he tries to connect with me but then he stops. And now, he started working a job for the past 7 months where he works past 24hrs and has no days off and I feel so neglected and sad. I feel that we need to talk about what is going on especially with this job that is affecting our relationship from lack of connection and im afraid for his health if he keeps working like this. I dont even hear from him in the day and lately ive been begging for 10 minutes of his time and he cant seem to make that happen. I decided to leave it alone and focus on myself, but I dont know if there is anything else I can do so he can know that I love him. I try to send him messages that I miss him and love him. And if he has eaten and i can take him food to work. I do all his chores since he has no time. Idk what else I can do at this point. He said he loves me but it just feels hes almost done with me.
