Ever since COVID, my spouse and I stopped being intimate. I kept trying to help, listen, support, care, and then she finally admitted she didn’t trust me with her heart. Multiple years of counseling with no change. And the added message that I don’t support her goals…which I’ve been the primary source of income for nearly five years while they got accredited in their field, which was three years ago. Every time I want to talk or plan, they don’t have ‘bandwidth.’ I’ve isolated myself except for family. There have been many reasons why they’ve retread emotionally with things that have happened to them. Just … lonely. Sad. Old.
