I married my husband 4 years after the loss of his oldest son.
It is now 1 1/2 years into the marriage, and 3 1/2 years into the relationship in total, and out of the 3 1/2 years he spent his time like this:
Year 1 when I met him he started writing a book about his son, all memories, collected from himself and everyone he knew.
He then put them on a website for people to read.
Year 2 the website wasn't good enough so he made a blog to reach people and then THAT became his new nightly obsession.
Year 3 we got married, I figured that he would stop this as soon as he was "finished" writing his book. Instead he has posted the entire book online almost, and continues now with writing articles in mourning magazines, and it just doesn't end.
It's 7 years now and the rest of his family holds his son in their hearts and they moved on. How long should I keep waiting for him to get on with it? I don't want to seem cold, but I have needs too. Ignoring me has ruined our marriage.
