Thanks Leonie for such a great reply!! My husband didn't know how to handle it when I was sick and he seemed so angry ll the time. I tried to confront him about it on several occasions but he wouldn't talk about it. It all got so bad that I had to leave home for a few nights during treatment. If you ask him now though, he will say he was very supportive!!
I think this all made me realise though that I have not been in love with him for quite some time. I have been with him since I was 17 and I have worked on myself so much in the last few years, and he has just stayed the same. I feel like I grew so much as a person through my ordeal and he didn't!! So I have some difficult decisions to make.
You talked about the shallow people - I think part of my 'personality change' is that I don't see the need to waste time with crap from these sort of people. I don't mean that i am rude to them, I am just a bit more outspoken now. I used to be so shy, but now I think why bother not saying what i think!!
I would love to hear from other people going through similar issues.
Take care,
Mel xx
