I guess I should tell you about earlier. My husband and I were eating a late lunch (or an early dinner, depending on your practices) and I was talking about a conversation I had with my younger brother. We were talking about the game Dungeons and Dragons and I was bemoaning the fact that each successive version of the game was just another money grab and a desire to explain every single thing about how to play the game, thus removing a lot of the imagination that used to make the game so much fun. He suddenly turns on me and starts berating me about how else could a D&D movie get made without the various versions. I am still not exactly sure what he was talking about, but what I took away from it was that he decided to jump in my shit for what amounted to no reason. I could tell he was in a mood today, but he has been in a mood for several months now.
I have no one else. What can I do when he gets like this? He is like talking to a tree trunk most of the time. I often feel that we dangle on the precipice of the canyon of silence where spouses look at each other but won't communicate and finally fall apart because neither will open up. I love him. I don't want him to be mad at me. I do want him to be more attentive and aware of reality. He seems to want to hide. I have already spent eight years living with someone who wants desperately to hide from reality. It has led to many issues. Too many. I don't want to deal with the idea that the man I love is turning into that man-child, but the evidence is building. I am scared enough without this happening as well.
I am still very confused as to why they can and will put down an animal for what is sometimes a simple thing, but they just won't extend to humans the same courtesy. Very confused.
It is always funny to me that I cry all the time, but when I really need to, I can't
