Separation after a lifetime together. Thoughts and experiences
Husband has decided to leave our 12 year marriage. Doesn’t enjoy being part of it anymore and in his words prefers to be alone and is a loner. We have children. Life has been hard lately for various reasons work and personal. It’s completely sideswiped me. I think he’s having a midlife crisis and is burnt out but I can’t reach him. We have been together almost 2 decades. He doesn’t and hasn’t driven any of the emotional conversations and has constantly left me hanging and searching for answers. He shuts down when asked for more information on exactly what he means or explodes and I don’t know what to do from here. He wants to shut himself away in a room and watch videos. Half the time he doesn’t seem to want to be around the kids either. He doesn’t feel good or better about anything us or work. Very confused and at the start of a hard road I think. Both 38
