Altair, he's been asking for space since the beginning but i think he is just using that as an excuse and he has made his mind up that he doesn't want to work at the marriage. He has made no effort to stay in contact with me at all, any contact is usually initiated by me or my daughter. I just don't know what to do anymore...

Thanks -- I could picture it (partly thanks to watching Broadchurch).

The way I make sense of my W's actions is: selfish, self-absorbed, self-centered, self-focused. Whatever nice thing she does, it's to make herself feel better about what she's doing. It all starts w/ herself. It's not about others.

That probably doesn't help you feel any better. Sorry.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head Gump. Same as Blu and everyone else has been telling me. I just need to start getting strong and stop having soppy thoughts about him!

Re: Years & Years -- sounds like the 80's has quite ended over in the UK (I'm happy to learn).

Oh Hawker, it just doesn't seem to cross their minds what they are put us through. Everything seems so matter of fact in their little world. They get to stop caring about us but no way ib the world would they consider that we can stop caring about them!

Just backslid and texted H to ask if he is watching the Great British Bake Off which we loved to watch together. No response....

Gump- Years & Years are a fairly new group. Google them, I love their music!

I know Cheesy, I am so annoyed with myself! How can he be so nice to my face, buy me chocolates and take us out to dinner for my birthday, but ignore a simple text, I just don't get it! Is it his way of saying that I am not important to him anymore!

I agree with cheesyt, don't give him the privilege. It's so so hard, like you say. It feels impossible when you have so much love for them but they don't care, they just care about themselves. His silent treatment annoys me. He's walking around, and I look at him and I feel both the rush of love and pain at the same time. I have to bite my tongue a good lot of the time to say anything

I agree Cherry, it just doesn't make any sense how they can trest us with such indifference. It breaks my heart.. Anyway he texted back in the end:

Me: Are your watching Bake Off?

H: No, away for a couple of days in Rushden and just having dinner. Is it a good one?

Me: GBB is always good! Biscuits tonight. Enjoy your dinner...

H: Thanks! Xx

Makes me sad because whenever he was away he would call before dinner and then call after dinner. Hate that things have to change....
