We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner, and I was a little late. Conversation didn&#8217;t flow, so I thought he was upset that I was late. I suggested we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn&#8217;t say much. I asked him what was wrong. He said, &#8220;Nothing.&#8221; I asked if it was my fault that he was upset.

But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don&#8217;t know what to do. I&#8217;m almost sure that his thoughts are on someone else. My life is a disaster.<br/><br/>HUSBAND&#8217;S DIARY:<br/>Boat won&#8217;t start.
