We’ve got drunk
we’re listening to Classic FM
And we’re finally starting to close our 30-yr relationship
I love respect and still want him.
Im worried about not having sex again
And he doesn’t know how he will see his children
He’s scared of ‘losing’ connection
or control
we flare
I wish he would be honest about how much he checked out
And there we are
30-yrs
and all done
and I'm holding on to hope

Lovely poem

We are talking about drastic changes - maybe living apart for awhile.
And I am acknowledging that I am unable to be sandwiched between my mother my children my husband my work. I’m suffocating with being in this role and actually not doing a good job of any of it either. I have to remove myself from some or all of it.

I'm sorry @SadSandwich. It sounds like something has to give. If you're caring for your mum then you're going to have to step back. I know that's not easy I had to do it myself, but you really can't sacrifice everything for one person who is not going to be around forever. Xxx
