How many of you have been deserted by their spouse or they just ignore you...
...in general? Maybe I'm being selfish, but I live in almost total silence. My husband doesn't really talk to me and seems so bitter, resentful and angry towards me. He's already had an affair and said it was because he could not handle my MS. I showed him the door and told him he's welcome to go live with her. No sense in all of us living with MS. We have two sons; 21 and 15 who are rarely home. My husband won't leave or let me leave. I can't stand this much longer. The silence, the feeling of resentment. I'm willing to go just so I don't have to feel this coming off of him any longer. Has anyone else here had to go through this?
Yes I just went through this minus the cheating part. I guess it's hard for us to realize sometimes that we are not the only ones going through this. Most men deal with things by ignoring them. My husband I started counseling. It was the door we needed open with a mediator to understand each other. It's not an easy issue but if the love is there it can take time. I know how bad the isolation sucks. Hope it comes to some kind of resolution for you, as the constant stressing about it makes you sicker. (((hugs)))
Yes my wife of 39 years has backed away from me completely since my dx two years ago and about two months ago she said to me straight in my face "this is not going to work I want out of this marriage ". Yesterday she said take your money and go get out of my life forever, that was the wrong thing to say because today I opened a new checking account and transferred all my direct deposits to the new account. Things are escalating, but I don't care we have not been intimate in two years and there has been no hugging or touching for that matter in at least two years. Yes I am in need of love I want and deserve and am worthy of love and can no longer live this way. She has begged me to go find a girlfriend so she has grounds for divorce and in the mean time she tries everything in the book to agrivate me. So yes I know exactly what you are talking about. Does anyone know what the divorce rate is for those with ms? I bet its over 80% or higher.
