(NC'd) Is anybody around?
OH came home last night and was acting weird. Suddenly came out with a big speech about how he can't handle X* and he can't cope with me and we should break up. Said he's been feeling this way for a long time.
(*X is a situation that is actually resolvable with a bit of compromise on both sides and sensible discussion. It came up in discussion earlier in the week without that compromise but things were fine after that.)
And things have been fine generally as far as I knew. OK, bit of a rough grumbly patch due to heavy workload and some personal stresses lately. But nothing massive/that we haven't dealt with before; and outside that it's been normal and we've recently been planning and booking stuff like an expensive holiday and organising a big birthday event for late in the year and generally getting on with life, discussing "the future" all as normal, and laughing and enjoying being together (so I thought)
We talked at some length but I don't know what is happening. I asked him "what now?" before bed and he said he was done talking for now as he had an important and longstanding commitment early today and needed to sleep . He wasn't being an arse about that, it is true and he headed off some time ago, and was talking to me and gave me a kiss goodbye as he does every day.
So I'm sat here now waiting for him to get home later this afternoon when we can resume the discussion and I feel sick to the pit of my stomach. How can he have been thinking this stuff while simultaneously acting completely normal and going along with spending thousands of pounds on future plans etc.
I'm in absolute bits. This is my life.
