Disciple of Prayer
Please continue to pray for my husband as he is in the midst of a midlife crisis. His name is Beau and my name is Nancy. We are both doing individual and couples counseling but this is going to be a very long road. He has regressed emotionally and is blaming me for everything...it's completely irrational to be honest. It's scary the man he has turned into. This is extremely difficult for me to continue to bear the brunt of his anger and rage. It's alarming and disappointing for our children, who don't understand the person that their dad has become (the kids are 15 and 18). My husband now says he feels there is too much "pressure" in the home and has thought about separating. I do NOT want this to happen and our couples counselor advised very strongly that this would only make things worse. I am trying to give him even more space now but I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. Please pray that he doesn't leave the home. The other big concern that happens at this phase of the midlife crisis is an affair. I am not suspicious of an affair, but I never expected any of this behavior from him either. I'm trying to be patient and wait on God's timing as I continue to stand for our marriage. I would love for the fog to be lifted from his eyes suddenly and overnight, but I know that is, again, God's timing as to when he will be healed. Please pray that Beau doesn't do anything to further hurt our marriage, me, and our children. Please pray that I can be strong through all this.
