I just can't believe how often I cry. It has been 7 months now that things
have been like this all of the time. My husband always was a bit of a baby
however I just ignored that <wink>. Now it feels to me as if I am married to
a moody child. I am constantly trying to gage his mood and handle them. I
have to find ways to keep him busy or he will just sit all day long. He
never was a go-getter but now he is a lump. I get so lonely not being able
to talk with him anymore. I think it might be easier if he was just bonkers
all of the time than it coming and going.
