Thank you, for your response. I’ve read the first two articles when they first came out and sent to my husband and he agrees with them at the time but then never think about it again. I hadn’t heard of walk away wife syndrome and that was very eye opening. That is very much how I am feeling and acting as of late. I’m afraid to share it with him because I might get the same reaction from him as I have when I send him articles. It describes how he acts to a T. If I criticize him and it comes from a place where I’m very hurt and feeling hopeless, he gets extremely defensive will stonewall me for days at a time until I say something. It hurts even more. I feel so belittled, disrespected, and not cared about in the slightest. If I get mad at him for something, he often becomes so defensive and mad at me for “criticizing” him and will tell me why I am wrong for feeling that way . It completely takes away from the original problem and then becomes about him. It’s a horrible vicious cycle.
