[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it means your spouse is going to leave you, if they're saying things like that. At least be prepared for it. It means that their baseline level of happiness and satisfaction isn't being met - and they'd rather be alone than deal with it any longer.[/quote] This. I didn't use this term, but we had a conversation in which I told my STBXH that I got nothing from him. I handled the vast majority of the child related, household chores. He wasn't good at giving emotional support, or taking the lead in any area. I said to him,"Is marriage to you just checking the box and then acting like you're single?" He never understood what I meant about a true partnership, even after his brother, our therapist and others tried to explain it. He understands well what he gave up by being separated, but couldn't articulate what I got from him.[/quote]
