Seriously, what I'm asking for is advice.
Has anybody been through this, and can give me advice?
I know there is no "one size fits all" for it.
I told him that if he needs anything from me, anything at all, to text me. He doesn't really want to see me right now, which I know isn't about me, it's about him. And I am completely OK with that and giving him all the space he needs (which I assume will be of the "I can't bear to be in a room with you, but please be home where you can be close. I'm assuming that because when I asked if he wanted me to not come home tonight and stay elsewhere, he said 'no', but that can certainly change, as needed).
Suggestions?
For the record, I do know that walking around humming "ding-dong the witch is dead" is absolutely the wrong thing to do. And as relieved as I'll be once it starts to feel real, there isn't going to be any smiling about this. His heart is breaking. Mine is breaking for him, even if this was the right thing to do.
