Dear Coleen
I’m a retired man, aged 67, and I’ve felt quite hopeless for a while now in terms of my life and, more specifically, my marriage. My wife is still working and does the night shift, which means we don’t spend much time together at all, and we don’t share a bed any more either.
During the day when I’m at home on my own, my mind inevitably turns to negative thinking and most of my thoughts involve all the things she’s accused me of doing wrong in our life together over the years. This ranges from small, silly things, such as using too much hair conditioner in the shower, to being told that I used her for sex.
