My husband of 10 years completely out of the blue told me just before christmas he no longer wants to be with me. I'm really struggling to comprehend whats happening as it was so unexpected - we always seem to have the perfect relationship and were very affectionate towards each other-a really close couple and family unit. All of our family and friends are in shock - we have a little boy together who we have not yet told. He says that I mothered him and that he felt I had no time for him which I disagree with. He won't say anything else though - it's although he has put up a wall between us and is now trying to wipe away 10 years. The last few weeks have been up and down, I moved out for a week expecting him to miss the LB so much but it's like he's suddenly dead inside. He was expecting me to leave and start again but I only work part time and would really struggle to find somewhere on my own (the house comes with his job so he can't move out). I also can't come to terms with being a single parent when it is the last thing I want. I looked at possibilities but in the end I have refused to leave saying that the LB doesn't deserve to be put through this as it is his home. We are currently living as friends which I can handle and he seems ok with it for now. He swears there is no one else and we tried going to relate but it was a disaster. I have said I would change and do what I can to make things right but he is adamant he just doesn't want to be with me. It is as though he has had a mid life crisis or a mental breakdown as nothing makes sense. He finds it very hard to talk and bottles things up which is probably why we are in this predicament. Has anyone been through anything similar and can you offer some advice? I have not been eating, I look dreadful and I just don't know what to do. I don't have family nearby but thankfully I have some great friends who are being there lots.
