New. hoping to make friends, chat, learn, etc (LTR and feeling crazy)

[wifemomwhoami]

New here, but I'm hoping to find friendship, conversation, and good advice and hopefully give the same in return. I hope you are all having a good day.

My issue at the moment is that I'm feeling a bit nuts. There, I sad it lol.

My husband had some very serious health issues not so long ago and nearly died. It nearly killed me too.

Now, he says I'm not open and vulnerable any more. We aren't as close as we were and we argue and stuff now when we used to be able to manage disagreements easily. I guess I have been kind of closed off.

Am I pushing him away because I fear that feeling of being so lost if he were to die? I think maybe I am, but that seems crazy. I'm sure someone else must have felt this way at some time, or maybe knows someone or has at least heard of it?

I'd love to hear advice/opinions or be pointed to resources. Thank you in advance for reading this and any replies.

It sounds like his near death experience scared you.  Does he understand that?  Ask him to be patient & both of you work toward rebuilding the closeness.  You fell in love once.  There is no reason you can't do it again.
