Aichaku, how are you doing?
Listen to me. Jim has offered you what would appear to be final words in your loving relationship with your man. I'm sorry, but I do not concur or agree with Jim. Your opening post is filled with love for your man and your son.
You know Aichaku, that when you make your man feel good about himself, then you are in the light of changing the course of negativeness.
I get it. sometimes when a man works his entire life to set up a home for his family, he can and does get into a bit of a rut. Or in plain english, becomes frustrated over the desires for a better outcome today in his life which will include you. You love him. That is potently obvious. Stand tall and be proud of this achievement. Continue tio be you and soldier on with your intentions to make HIM feel like he is always at home, no matter where he might be. Call him more often even if it is to ask what he would like for tea and lunch tomorrow. His answer should be enough for the two of you to connect on the opening page of a new day.
As for the guy's bad moods? ... well...yep! he's got stufff on his mind. don't panic! OK? He thinks that all his hard graft and years of working for the man
have taken the meaning out of his world. He has become blinded by this. He totally needs your support. (though it might not seem like it to you)
It is a question now of how clever you and your son (who fits naturally into the equation) can become, while adjusting to a new strategy to help yours and his idol.
I am so pleased to hear your gratitude for the involvement in your partner's life. You are, by the sound of it, his right hand. So don't give up on your intuition on this. Your post indicates to me that there is completeness in your life which is currently disrupted with much anxiety.
Trust me, I am certainly not undermining the actual dealings you face every day( alongwith your son)
(keep a tight hold of HIS hand )... (I don't know his age but will hazard a guess and say about 12 years old).
I will say this to you in all honesty, that your partner or hubby is currently considering a new life for himself. Kind of selfish, but at the same time stoppable. He will make hugely bad choices and will be enticed away from you. Go back to my original advice and make your man feel good about being your better half.
Understand that there are oplenty of fish in the ocean for him (and you?), because somebody told him that. a natural means of a scapegoat. Not good enough in this case, I say.
Grab him and comfort him daily. Do this as his lover. Find out tenaciuosly and with patience what it is on his mind.
OK, it may hurt, but there is nothing quite like an emotional outpour(tears) between two people who see nothing else but a world and universe of endless truth. The truth you and he said would work from the start.
Be strong for him and he will make you feel good about yourself and about him. He will end up feeling good about himself and about being loved by YOU. Your post is brave and courageous.From Simon.
