you are both hurting right now. We women mostly want to lighten the load by sharing our pain with others (and we do it because it helps!). But men tend to be stoic and communicate LESS when they are in pain.
I really feel that this is the distancing/loneliness that you are experiencing right now.
Give yourself permission to buy that manual online. There is no need to procrastinate a trip into town. It is ok that you don't feel up to the emotional trip of walking into that bookstore, locating the book, waiting in line, and paying for it. I have often put off things that may help me just because of logistics... then I learned to do what I needed on the internet when I wasn't ready to "face the world".
I hope you'll continue to post here and let us know how you are doing.
