I'm looking for some hand holding here guys, please be gentle.....
DH and I have had 'the talk' and he says that he feels numb and doesn't feel anything, he doesn't know if he wants to stay or go, he is worried about the effect on the kids, on me and on him. He claims that there is no one else.
He has said that I don't deserve the pain he is putting me through, that I deserve someone who will love me for who I am not the person I am trying to be in order to keep him happy (I've started running again after a few months away from it - no other changes).
He said last night that he would like another week to make the decision about if he stays or goes 'if I am ok with that'. I agreed (one of the kids away, another's birthday today, one due back from uni Friday ) makes sense to not rush the decision as it will effect us for the rest of our lives.
So why do I need my hand holding?
Well if I told him that I forgive his 'emotional affair' and that I am prepared to fix our marriage, move on and attempt to rebuild it into something better, why does he feel numb?
Has he already decided that he wants out and is trying to do it gently?
Am I missing something?
