Don't get me wrong, my husband Pete is supportive and very helpful. Heck, I've kind of got it made these days. He just retired, and makes my coffee and breakfast, and at night, brings me my capucchino at night. Not too shabby. However, I feel that all of us can benefit from some therapy dealing with something like this. That's not something he feels is necessary. He rarely vents, but it's very apparent, especially now that he's retired, that our lives are not what we expected and planned what they would have been like when retirement came around. I hibernate in the winter, and I live in California where it doesn't usually get below 50 degrees during the day. The cold feels like it goes to my bones, which I know isn't the way it is, it's the nerves that are reacting to it. They get that way even though it's not cold in the house. I think it's the barometric pressure that actually affects them. He hates that I hardly will go out of the house, so he gets cranky sometimes. That is all he usually does. He probably mutters other things that I don't hear too. I hope he does, he has to get it out sometime. I just wish that he'd talk to somebody about his feelings. It's just not something he was exposed to growing up, so he's not comfortable doing it with other people. Hugs, Barbara A
