I know that whenever he travels for business, he calls me a lot, and says he wishes he was home.
When I go out of town, I limit my calls to him because the solitude is a real relief.
He is the person who says now, whenever I am having a bad day or am not functioning at a social level, that I need to see my doctor, and get my meds adjusted. I now wait a while, tell him I have consulted, and the doctor has advised me to not change anything so quickly (because that's what she would do). I know that my moods and emotional coping skills are on a sliding scale. They can be triggered into a downward spiral, but eventually, I come out of it.
He wants that instant gratification return that taking an Alice In Wonderland pill would give. They don't exist and he doesn't want to hear it any more; think of the change in mood a glass of wine induces. I don't do that any more.
I think the disruption in the house is affecting us in different ways. We are both impatient, but showing it in different, if unhealthy, ways.
Where is my rock to hide under? Probably in an unmarked box somewhere in this house.
