Hi,
I am new to this group not DS though, I belong to several other groups on here. I have found support on here to be awesome so I thought that I would give this one a go.
I have been battling Late Stage Lyme Disease for the past 15 years. It has put alot of strain on my marriage. i mean my husband has always supported me and picked up the load when I couldn't. then we found out that he and my daughter both have Lymes too. Not as severe as mine. I had to stop working and battle alot of differenthealth problems that thank God they don't.
Recently he has just been doing things not in his charecter. I went to TN (from MD, 12 hrs) by myself to visit my Mom. Staying at hotel by myself and he doesn't call me at night for 2 nights. I mean he was working nights and he does get busy (Construction Roads) and then didn't call me when he got up during the day. I told him that it wouldn't be a big deal if I was at home but I was 700 miles away and anything could have happened to me.
When I confronted him he just shuts down. He has always been like that though not much of a confrontational person. I think he might be having a mid-life crisis. he is 44. We have been married 18 years and together 23. I just hope that his Lymes isn't getting worse and he doesn;t want to tell me. I know that I went through alot of mental crap and still do. Am I just being paranioid. I mean I was always a tough cookie and I know he knew I could take care of myself, I think I might have just got my feelings hurt.
Sorry this was long. I look forward to talking to alot of you and am glad to be apart of this group.
