Husband became mentally unstable
My husband of 7years and me were so in love, up until the end of June. We were always full of cuddles, and I love yous, and he would text me at work or call to say I love u. We would say I love u in front of everyone. We had our ups and downs. He has a bad temper, would say things he didn't mean, would rock back and forth and hold his ears like a child when he didn't want to hear something. I knew he had problems, but the good outweighed, the bad. He smokes weed., He had a really bad childhood from a mentally and physically abusive stepdad. He was ok for a while. The end of June he said he started to have feelings of killing himself. I asked if he wanted to go for help. He worked it out on his own for 2 weeks, so he said, and was fine, so he said. 3 days after he started getting distant from me. I was begging him to let me help him, bc I have mental health issues too. I take my meds for anxiety, depression,panic attacks.he just kept pushing away. I was so upset. No hugs, no kisses,no cuddling, . Being a women, I was naturally thinking it could be another women. But in my mind I knew better bc he would never do that. But my natural instincts took over, I went down to his job, and wanted to give him a hug which was never a problem before on the job. Of course nothing was going on.He got mad at me and started yelling and screaming.i was so heartbroken.this was the same man who would call me to come and hug him. So I got mad, sped out of the parking lot. 2 hours later I get a call from my son saying my husband is in the hospital he had a sezsuire and he don't want to see me. This is were my nightmare began. A restraining order was put on me for a month,he came out of the hospital, took our van, slept in our van for 2and a half weeks, at rest stops, started drinking till getting drunk, which he is totally against,he still talked through my son's from a previous marriage, said I love u. The order was lifted., Bought a car without me bc he hit a deer with our van. I'm living with my mom btw. He's living at our place. He says he has no emotions, good or bad. I looked up anhedonia, personality disorder,major depressive, all of them. He will not get help! I am devastated. It's been 2 months today. I have to force him to call me. I'm feeling all these feelings and he feels nothing bc he won't get help he said he is too mentally unstable to be with me.he won't let me help. I am so lost.please, I need help in what to do. He will not listen our smallest dog passed away today. He had no emotion when I told him. Please help😥

Demons. Drugs. Maybe both. Leaning towards demons.
Your husband had all the same childhood traumas the seven years you were happily married.
He starts feeling suicidal and then bizarre behavior and personality changes, and now no emotions. Demons, yep cause other things make no sense.
Another possibility is neurological damage has he ever had a seizure before? He literally needs his head examined. Brain damage caused by, oh say an aneurysm for example. An injury cause you actually haven't been around him.
Demons and/or drugs OR possible brain injury or illness are my top suspects.
I am so so sad to hear you are going through this.
I was thinking the neurological damage . He won't go to the doctor. That's what I want to find out. No he never had a seizure. I thought of all of that.an anyreysum too. Demons, yeah I believe it can happen. I believe in all that. It all comes down to going to a professional. I'm the weed he is doing, and the drinking, he swore he wasn't doing hard drugs. It's hard to say bc he does lie now.
@Halloweenlove75b yes it literally could be ALL of it but the key is, and the hard part...if he won't get help then he won't and you cannot force him to.
I will be praying for both of you. I would recommend trying to get some churches to pray cause I can almost guarantee this has a spiritual component.
Keep checking in; this is a good place.
@Halloweenlove75
Here is another thing. He is a man and your husband and been sending messages he loves you.
What if stuff is going on and he decided to get you away from whatever is going on inside???
Elsa to Anna: Get away from me I am dangerous!! Hurts Anna and chases her away giant angry snowman.
All his actions have been he wants you to keep distance. While he does insane stuff he has never ever done prior.
I will pray!!
He stopped saying it like 2 weeks ago. I still say it. Even if he doesn't say it. If I see him, and say it to him, sometimes he will say it. He still says a part of me will always love u. Thank u for the prayers♥️ I am staying in the forums bc alot of people don't know what to say to me.
@Halloweenlove75 yeah I am a specialist.

I so happen to be a Listener you can PM me if you want to discuss this in private.
Thank you. ♥️ I definitely will be contacting u this week
@Halloweenlove75 ok if I don't reply right away do not fear. I am very ill and have to sleep a lot now. I will get back with you.
He could be just really overwhelmed with the pressures of his trauma over the years, plus things around us are so different now. I speak with many guests that are randomly experiencing these feelings with no history. Just remember we can’t force anyone to do or feel anything. All we can do is be healthy and try to understand. If it’s your husband and you have that history of love the “demons” can’t hold on that long. Just be patient. Also prepare for any outcome so you don’t get blindsided. I hope this helps
you can reach out anytime 😇
Thank you♥️. My problem is, I keep trying to help. I'm exhausted. He just won't do it. He was my provider.he is paying my cell phone, but that's about it. I have no car. Using my mom's spareinley, I haven't worked on 15 years. He didn't want me to work.now I have to find something I can do. The way it looks now, it's not getting any better. I keep praying though🙏♥️
@Halloweenlove75 hey I have more insight if you PM but all is not lost for work.
It turns out explaining a long employment gap through "married" is very acceptable. Your husband is now sick necessitating a return to work.
You can do it!!

Hi Halloweenlove75, I am really sorry to acknowledge all the issues that happened and the current situation with him.
It's really difficult to guess what's going on with your partner, but I also got impressed by his words when he said he's too unstable so wants to keep distance vs asking you to help. That's a big worry for you, i understand that. Seems like he wants to be able to figure out things by his own ? Maybe he appears cold from the outside but he's struggling a lot, just he's not sharing his pain ?
It'd be important that a professional could help him but if that's not an option I really hope he won't completely isolate.
Sorry also for the loss of your dog, I see how this moment is extremely heavy for you.
You are doing great in sharing because sometimes, just writing down things, can help with own emotions and also in rethinking about problems from a different angle. I really hope there will be something positive coming your way, in any case, we are here for you ❤️
Thank you♥️ my dog passing away just made the situation worse. He is isolating. He won't listen to anybody. He turns his phone off, doesn't tell anyone his work schedule, where he is going,. It's been 2 days. Then all of a sudden he will call one of my sons or me. I can't keep going through this.its killing me
So he calls, and here I am again, begging for him to get help, explaining myself over, and over saying the same things on phone as in text. I say I love you. He doesn't say it no more. I'm bawling my eyes out, he doesn't care cause he has no emotions. He said he would rather have no emotions in this world. I said even with what we had?, He said yeah. I asked if this is a game, seriously, he tells me no, I told u I'm not mentally capable of loving right now. So he feels anger, but not other emotions? He doesn't even want to see me. Just phone and text. I told him nobody will ever love me the same as u did before u got mentally sick. He tells me he don't know if he will ever be well enough, and if someone finds me.it happens. I seriously don't know how to move forward, because I know I have to. I'm crying again, don't have motivation to do stuff, expecially find a job.thank God for my mom, how do I move on guys? It doesn't look like it's getting any better😥😥
