I know nothing of the difficulties you nor the OP face, but

You've probably heard it, but maybe to help remind, I just wanted to say - It's okay to be burnt out and do little or nothing. I believe it's the minimum requirement to healing and it _will_ take years maybe even a decade. I was cheated on and that affected me for 2 years and that's trivial to the road you walk.

I was fortunate enough to be in a place where I could "retire" the month after he rang the bell.

I've been doing my own thing for close to two years now, trying to heal.

Maybe I will someday. Until then, I somehow manage to keep up with his (still elevated) needs and try to be a good husband and father to my other child.
