Sober words?
My husband is in NA and got out of rehab a few weeks ago, clean after 5 years. 5 days later, he said that he can’t fight for our relationship as he doesn’t love me and we’re no longer compatible. The conversation was totally out the blue and he said it suddenly then just walked out.
He’s always been such a family man. Whilst in rehab he was very much fighting for our family, constantly saying how much he valued our 15 year relationship.
What really hurt is he said that he’s been unhappy for a while and “self medicating”, which just does not line up with how he acted, what he said, our wedding, baby etc everything. He’s now got me questioning if he only ever felt happy because he was using, despite us being together for 10 years before his addiction.
I’m just wondering if people have experience of a Q who has bolted so early into their recovery? It felt like he felt the pressures and flew to his mum’s.
(He hasn’t met anyone else in rehab as I know some people will say this!)
I’d like to add though that I am now doing better 4 weeks on. I have accepted this is the end of our marriage and I’m determined to move on with my child for their sake.
