@MarciKS I think you and others misunderstand my problem with my husband. He has, clearly, mental health issues which have increased over the years and the older he gets the more strange he gets. It’s not that I don’t love him. It’s that he’s mentally ill, which effects me mentally, as he is psychologically abusive and just plain mean.
If he had alzheimer’s I could drop him off somewhere, but he doesn’t. An MRI, a few years ago, showed that he has brain shrinkage. I am sure that must be part of the increase in his negative behavior. If I were less sensitive, and I’ve been told by most people that I am too sensitive, I might be able to tolerate his endless crap; but I can’t.
He has begun to realize that his aging is effecting his ability to function more than my aging is effecting me. This makes him angry as well. There is no solution, except for me to leave, but, as I’ve said. It’s very complicated for me. But apparently it would not be for you.
Venting on the forum allows me some relief, but then, honestly, I have to put up with comments like you’ve made regarding being homeless. I am sorry, but it’s a uneducated comment. IMO.
Anyway, I like you a great deal. Don’t like what you said, but you are entitled to your opinion. I have relatives in Kansas, most of them are dead.
