There is no way to see what will happen, and at the beginning of this stage in our lives, I had no idea that we would get to this point, or at least get to this point so quickly.
We were discussing what was to come next, and when I suggested that we work on his business plan, he said, "I'm never going to start a business, so let's stop that now". Apparently, he has NO confidence in his ability, which he DID have before.
So how can I help? Who knows. I don't know that I can swallow this. Honestly, it felt like he'd been lying to me all these years with no desire do be independent.
So, we start over.
