"Last night, my husband told me something that I never ever expected him to say. He told me that I was smothering him. We have been separated for about three weeks - at his insistence. I just don't understand why a middle aged man should need space from his marriage unless he is planning to end the marriage or break his vows. And that is why I feel that I need to be in touch with him every day and know what he is doing. But when I try to do this, he tells me that I am "smothering" him. I believe his exact words were something like: 'I felt like I was being smothered at home and now I feel like I can't escape even now that I am here. You have got to stop smothering me. I have got to be my own person.' I just care about him and I think that I have the right to know what is going on with him and with my marriage. I don't think that our talking a couple of times per day is too much to ask. I don't call that 'smothering.'"
