Married for 17 years.
Two kids, DC1 is 15 and has asd. DC2 is 9; no sen.
A couple years back, my husband and I started a company that eventually became 'successful' ego and new confidence influenced my husband to force me to leave our company. It's painful. It's been over a year and it's been hell.
Over this past year, he has begun to walk out on us as a family whenever he felt like I was being rude. I wasn't. He just didn't believe he was the one changing.
Two months ago; we had our longest separation. Almost two full months. It was his decision. I wasn't devastated. I just wanted him to either dissolve the marriage or figure out what was wrong if he still loved us as a family, and me as his wife....
I haven't decided if I want to stay or not; I just feel that a marriage of 17+ years and a relationship of 21 years will need far more consideration before I decide on what I want to do.
He wants to stay married. We still fuck.
But when he goes away for work, he has no problem calling me. He just never calls the kids. Or calls when I'm with the kids.
Although he does have adhd and Asperger's; he's proven for two decades that he does love us and can be communicative and functional.
Our children are not happy with him. Telling him doesn't seem to matter. He'll call me though. Ugh. What's wrong with him?
