Dear Chelee,

This SUX big time! I am so sorry. Try not to visit "what if", as it doesn't help at all.

I bet your husband is just plain scared of losing you. He may need some time to adjust. That's what men do, when they are scared: they withdraw. Or at least, most of them do.

If you need someone with you today, tomorrow, the next day, ask a friend. A stable, sensible, good good friend, if you possibly can. I did. I didn't want the extra stress of dealing with my husband's emotions.

Love

Jacqueline
