Have any other CALS experienced an "emotional distancing" by their PALS early on in this process? I've noticed my Hubby spending more and more time in his workshop/man-cave. He's been hanging out there almost every evening, watching TV, playing with his fishing stuff and generally seeming to stay away from the basic household activities. Even though we've gone on several trips outta town the last several weeks, he just seems to be.....I don't know the exact way to describe it other than "taking himself outta the darn day-to-day activities"! As bizarre as it may seem, sometimes I feel like he's trying to prepare me for life without him..... if he's not readily at hand, then I have to deal with the immediate "here and now" and not involve him! Grandbaby having a meltdown, dogs puking or light fixtures blowing===I'd better deal with it despite him STILL being here to help! I'd like to think I'm a relatively sane person and not subject to wild imaginations, BUT THEN AGAIN....! Just curious if I need to be checking in at the local nuthouse or if this may be normal behavior for other PALS! Take care to all!
