[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It seems like this is much more than a normal grieving reaction if he can't even simply say, "no thanks, I would really like to be left alone for some time, I know we talked about how I wanted to be comforted before my mom passed, but now that it's happened, I need different things." [/quote] He is "saying" this quite clearly. [/quote] This is really about the OP. She's hurt that he doesn't want her comfort, she feels rejected and shut out. She's complaining that he isn't expressing his need for alone time in a way that's more considerate and polite TO HER. She's saying "DH won't let ME comfort him" rather than "DH is unhappy and I'm concerned." OP, the best thing you can do for your DH is to get your head around the fact that it isn't about you and your feelings. Find some other outlet for your anxiety and frustration, and give him the space he needs. [/quote] This!!![/quote]
