My husband and I have not been getting on as well as we should be, although we don’t argue or bicker.
This relationship is taking a toll on me, and I just can't handle it anymore.
This morning, our 10-year-old eldest son felt very excited about returning to school.
I had a phone call late morning, where they asked me to pick him up as he was not feeling well. As soon as we got into the car, he mentioned he wasn't feeling unwell. He apologised and explained that he lied because he knew I was upset, and he just wanted to return home to be with me.
I am good at masking my emotions around the children, but they claim that children can sense things.
At just 10 years old, he shouldn't have to think about me while at school; in fact, he should be free of any worries.
When we got back home, I phoned my husband, only for him to claim that this issue is something I've caused myself and that he is 'not trying to hear it.'
He displayed no concern whatsoever for our son being upset at school.
I am struggling to cope with this.
Recently, I have encouraged us to go to therapy because I am convinced it will help us work through our difficulties. He lacks any interest but tells me I should have it for my benefit.
