Since he has been gone to help her, he has barely called, rarely texts and even suggested taking a break from me.

My husband is in another state with his elderly mother. He went to help her get her house ready for sale so she can move near us. Before he left, he was having severe panic attacks. He kept telling me he is scared of losing me and that he was going to need me while he was with her.

This woman has been single for 30 years, worked full time and has essentially no real expenses. She spoils the heck out of him -- her only child. She treats him like her partner or a 12-year-old boy. She dislikes that I’m at home taking care of my 1-year-old grandchild and not working. I have always contributed, but this is the choice my husband and I made together.
