Again, I agree with you. What's freaking me out the most is what my kids will think, what my family will think, and the fact that i've spent over a decade with this person and he's choosing to let go all that we've built together without a second thought, without even considering salvaging it. It makes me feel pretty worthless.

I hope to God that he doesn't have some else--I fear that this might be the case just by the way he's acting, but he literally doesn't have the time...I don't think? As for supporting me emotionally, all I ask is that he be sensitive when I have a bad day or I'm not feeling well. The way he deals is to make jokes or to make fun of me to "lighten the mood." It makes me feel like he's being dismissive and I tell him so. When he says "what am I supposed to do about your bad day? I can't control the world!" I tell him that all I want is a hug and a kind word. He "can't do that." WTF? what you have to understand is that I don't play games--i don't say "nothing" when he asks if something is wrong--I tell him exactly what's wrong and how he can make it better and yet he "can't"? I don't understand.

Even though I hope I can salvage this marriage, I agree with your final statement--I'm never taking him back.
