> Maybe your most helpful comment was couples therapy. I don't know why I didn't think of it. If he is for real, and not handing me a junkie line, the "he I know" would definitely see the benefit in it. If the person I talk to after work says yes, then I think it'll really be HIM and worth pursuing. If he says, no, than I think it'll always the the other "him" and I should do as you say and protect myself by walking away.

hi sunny,

i think i suggested an action plan if you felt unsafe - it could just be a couple of weeks of staying with family or friends, or it could be finding other avenues of support if you decide you want to learn to live with his behaviour. of course, if you want to walk out, that's totally up to you.

but it's about empowering yourself to decide for yourself what you can and cannot live with. and it's about trusting yourself to make tough decisions that are for your best interests and promote your mental health.

i am concerned about you sweetie, you are in a tough spot. i wish you all the best and hope a third party can help you work thru it.
