I really need to see if I am crazy to be reacting this way. My husband said that I am making more out of what he said than need be. He also said that no reasonable person would react the way I did. Here's the story. I have been married for 28 years with one grown son. We have had a good marriage and do a lot of things together. There has never been an issue of distrust or infidelity. We have fun together and are very compatible. We discuss our hopes and dreams and always have. Here is where I got emotional and upset. My husband told me that if he would have had the opportunity in life to do something really great and spectacular, he would have left me and our son "in a heart beat" as he put it. I was really stunned and started crying. He said that since it never happened I should be grateful. This was and still is upsetting to me. I realize that this didn't happen, but just the thought of knowing that he would have been gone disturbs me. Am I over reacting to feel like I have been punched in the stomach? I don't know how to get past this. Any advice out there. I starting to wonder if I am crazy or not well. He said sometimes there are things in life that are even more important than your children. He said that he would have never looked back. Was I just around until something better came along? I just don't know how to handle this.
Thank you.
