A wonderful post full of courage and great thoughts on keeping yourself happy so the sunlight will get through to your mate.
I can relate to him because I had years of worry and depression and like you, having to focus on my Joycie's brain cancer actually wound up helping me to survive after she died.
I quit the ciggy's again 2 weeks ago, and that's after being off them once for 11 years, then 4 years and now I think it will stick because Kabu doesn't smoke either so it was a great incentive for me to quit before she comes in November.
God Bless you and yours luv, keep on with 'happy' kiddo

The answer lies in communication. Our relationship problems come from communication, lack of it or miscommunicate.

The conclusion you drew is perfect. You see I’m the insomniac, the worrier, and the person who slips into darkness in my relationship. If my husband simply lets me know he’s there if I need him in some way remains positive, I can usually crawl out of the dark hole. If he becomes frustrated with me, I fall deeper. If he tries the “snap out of it approach” I become resentful thinking he’s dismissing the reality of my sadness. So you decision to just go about what you’re doing with a happy demeanor is an excellent approach. A positive outlook is contagious.
Oh… and the smoking thing. We linger over a bottle of wine and cigarettes too. That’s when the conversation really has some depth.
