I'm sorry you are feeling so hurt and conflicted. I imagine you are right, the experience of being apart from your husband for this upcoming year might bring clarity for you. You might consider individual counseling. I'd imagine if your husband is in the military there ae resources you can tap into.

My tends to be not all that sympathetic when I'm feeling upset about something. In his case, he's not trying to be mean towards me, he simply does not understand how to respond. He did not receive good modeling growing up to know how to reach out to me. This is an area we are currently putting some work into to help our marriage. Its going to take some effort on my husbands part to acknowledge my feelings. His willingness to make an effort towards acknowledging my feelings (as well as his own) is key for both our marriages.
