Bill, you are correct. He endured my hospitalization, my return to work, and all the stress I endured during my last job, which all came to a breaking point practically for me. At one point, I told him I was feeling suicidal, and we got through that. We've gone through a lot together.

Honestly, I learned that HIS trigger is me forcing him, or seemingly forcing him, to talk about issues when he's not ready or willing to. That's the straw that broke the camel's back on Saturday, but it had not been like that at all for the last many months.

Hi, yes, my emotions have leveled off. Even though I am nervous about my performance level at work, I am happy to be returning and at a less stressful level for now.

I do have my own therapy tonight, during which I plan to address Saturday's events.

I don't really think he's a fair weather spouse. I think it's more so that when the pressure builds, and if I seemingly force him to talk about his stress, then he can implode under all the stress, which is what occurred. Of course, there is a very small part of me that wonders if he would leave during or after all the stress is over, based on his comments last Sat in which he said he would leave and not come back.
