Thanks everybody for posting and emailing-that meant a lot to me. I have been struggling lately and thought it best if I wasn't around others. I have been asked to play bass guitar in a band and that has given me something to focus on which has been a big help. I have accepted the invitation and will give it a few months to see if it can go further-practice sessions have been good.
Anyway, I am getting much pressure to conform and it is difficult to say no.
The relationship with my wife-good days and bad days. I go out of my way to be nice or help in some way and most times she responds well. But at odd times she will send these barbs at me that are a relationship killer -for me it is. Oh well, it is what it is and we have to either make the best of it or not.
