So much!!!!

Nick is having a hard time right now. I don't need to get into the details, but he needs some time to think about where his life and job are going. It is one of the most stressful things to just have to sit back and watch your husband suffer and really not be able to do anything beside listen. I listen to what he is feeling and reassure him that he is doing a great job. He is a greater critic on himself, more so then anyone else could be. He is feeling pressured to comeback sooner and this just makes him want to push back even more. He is a husband who is feeling guilty for traveling so much and not being here for his family. I am reassuring him that I am not going anywhere, nor are his children.
He needs to be okay with that though. He needs to feel comfortable leaving and knowing that we will be okay. This last year and a half as been a very STRESSFULL time for Nick. Not seeing his wife, his ten year old son and his 9 month old daughter has been a stress that Nick was not ready for. He was told he would have heavy traveling for 6 months and then it would slow down. I don't know if Nick would have taken this job if he had been told he would have to travel non-stop for a year and a half.
Kelly Clarkson's song is spot on for me. I wish I could save him! I wish I had been a little more aware of his feelings. I can tell how much this is killing him, but I feel stuck and unable to do anything for him, but just be here for him. I for once don't know the answer, I don't know what to say to him as to what he should do.
I love my husband more than anything and it truly is killing me to see him like this.
Hang in there my Nick, we will get through this.

Kelly Clarkson Save You Lyrics:

I can tell
I can tell how much
you hate thins
And deep down inside
You know it's killin' me
I can call
Wish you well
And try to change this
But nothing I can say
Would change anything
Where were my senses
I left them all behind
Why did I turn away Away

[Chorus]
I wish I could save you
I wish I could say to you
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright

Didn't mean
didn't mean to
leave you stranded
Went away 'cause I
didn't want to face
the truth
Reachin' out
Reach for me empty handed
You don't know if I
care you're trying
to find the proof
There were ties I'd wonder
Could I have eased your pain
Why did I turn away Away

[Chorus]

It's gonna be alright
Save you
I wish I could save you

[Bridge]
We can pretend
nothing's changed
Pretend it's all the same
And there will be
no pain tonight

It's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright

Save you
I wish I could save you
I'm not going no where
I wish I could say to you
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
Save you
I wish I could save you

It's gonna be alright
