That when you let a little bit out, it eases the pressure so that adding a little more won't cause you to explode (or implode, depending on your tendency). Of course, I've been wrong once or twice before, so maybe I'm wrong now. I guess that's just how it seems to work for me. So, as long as you have something that needs to get out, come here and LET IT OUT!!! Or email me or any of your many other babble friends who, I know, want to support you.
I hear you on the 24/7 husband thing. That was most of my marriage with my ex and it's a real bitch!! I completely believe the saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." And I don't know what to tell you. I tried getting out as much as possible; but, it really wasn't a perfect solution. It's not the same as being HOME all alone. That is what seems to be the most peaceful for me. I know it's hard, but could you tell him you need him to be out of the house for X number of hours per week?
As for sending emails to interesting professors, I'd bet the farm you have WAY more than what it takes. The fear part is hard to overcome, though, isn't it? It can just be so very big sometimes. I guess I just figure if what's going on now isn't making you happy, then what's the harm in trying something else? Could things really end up any worse? (And yes, you could probably pick just about any thread of mine and tell me the exact same thing. In fact, please do. This is definitely a "do as I say and not as I do" sort of suggestion.)
I'm thinking about you Llurpsie. I hope things start getting better soon.
