M32 F29 My wife of 6 1/2 years abandoned me when I needed her the most
2KI'm blind in one eye and severely sight impaired in the other courtesy of yet another hemmorage inside my eye on Tuesday. Im also diabetic and require insulin injections on a daily basis. My wife comes home after work on Wednesday and tells me she's been having thoughts about leaving. She then heads back out the door to go to the cinema that we had booked together (but now I couldn't go because of the bleeding). She messaged me to say no matter what happens, she'll always be my carer.
She comes home after and doesn't say anything. I try and comfort her and tell her that she needs to talk to someone about it. She says she'll call her mother in the morning. She calls her mother and they go out to lunch together. When she gets back, she doesn't say anything to me and just starts packing up things like her toothbrush and phone charger etc. Once she has everything together, she tells me she's off to her mother's for a few days. My vision is so bad at this point that I can't even make out her face. She leaves and I hear nothing from her for the rest of the day.
I get panicked phonecalls from my brother and sister because my wife sent them a message saying we had split up. My wife hadn't even bothered to tell me that we had split, she told me she just wanted a few days alone. When she called me today, she told me that she told then that we had split because it was easier to do that than explain.
She then went on to tell me she was staying at her mother's and wants a divorce. I later stumble across her wedding ring. She had left it on the arm of the sofa before she left for her mother's. Didn't bother handing it to me, or explaining what she was doing.
After a brief chat on Facebook messenger, she agreed that she might feel different in a week. But until then, I'm left hanging in limbo and forced to rely on my siblings to administer my insulin. Which is a pain for them as it has to be done around 9:30pm-10pm ish. One has a young child and the other lives just under an hour away. I can't even do things like washing dishes or clothes or even go shopping without ruining my vision even further.
Half of me wants to wait to see if she'll change her mind. The other half doesn't want her back. I literally and figuratively didn't see any of this coming. Do I wait to see if she changes her mind or do I start to move on?
