[quote=Anonymous]I have been under tremendous stress at work (well above the normal stuff).  Despite how much I have verbalized this to DH, he has been very detached and removed from me. What I really need is support, meaning emotional support (example - you are doing great, it will be fine, I will support you no matter what you decide).  Or a hug...  It's like he has entirely pulled back from me emotionally, and I can not express how hurt and disappointed I am.  I have told him, but of course, he is defensive and says that he is supporting me and b/c I am stressed, he is trying to steer clear of me.   It feels really hard right now to be able to get over this hurt, b/c, although we have been very fortunate to date, stresses and bad times will occur in the future.   It's just one of these moments where I really am looking at the situation and wondering why, after 15 years of marriage, I feel like this.  I really just want to get it off my chest and am looking for some constructive thoughts.  I am not a damsel in distress, by any means, but really feel like I need him to step in and help reassure me on both the work and personal front, but we seem to be at a stale mate. [/quote]
