Hello Nicki
Boy does your post bring back memories...is he on an anti-depressant, I can`t remember?
Take my advice , don`t take that leave of absence.
He is feeling very fragile right now and your staying home with him won`t help.
You need the social interaction that work gives you, apart from the money thing!
My worst moment came when I heard my husband crying in the shower,I guess he thought he was safe from my mollycoddling in there. it broke my heart. still does when I think about it . In fact this is the first time I have told anyone.
Hang in Nicki...things will be better soon..honest.
It`s nice to ramble every now and again, I can almost smell the roses.

Take care
Marica
