Thank you all so much for your support - it has
really helped.
Very late last night he eventually started talking.
It started out as a "this is the end of the road
for us" conversation, with no possibility of any
alternative discussion. But by about 1:30am he had
started to consider that maybe there could be a
future still, and today he is almost positive about us.
There is a lot of work ahead, but now I understand
the main issues. And I am feeling a lot happier:
still a bit afraid, and still going to see the
therapist for a good number of sessions. Perhaps
in time he will see the value of therapy as well.
He has many unresolved issues from his (orphaned) childhood.
Once again, thank you so much for the encouragement.
I would not have had the strength
to walk back into the bedroom otherwise, and we
might never have got the conversation going again.
I will let you know what happens.
