I am so sick and tired or being consumed each day about why he doesn't care for his wife of 15 years or his children. I just can't get over that. The ER called him Sunday night when I was in there and told him his wife was headed for surgery and his mother said he is in the bath right now. Well I have heard nothing so obviously he does not care. I don't know why I would expect him too. I have been telling him for years I didn't think he loved me and his actions showed that on a daily basis, but really seeing the truth of that when he left has just devastated me. I don't know how you can spend 15 years for someone and have 8 children with them and spend more time together than most couples do and just walk away without a bat of an eye. I just dont' get it. Can someone please explain to me how????

momma-

Your h's mother might not have relayed your message about your surgery to him. If he is living with his mother, he has more issues than not caring. He needs to see a shrink.

Not enough time has passed. Be patient with yourself and look for a greater context to all this stuff. Eventually you'll find it... and the strength to accept what has/is happening and move on.
