Lark,Thank you. Yes, you are right. It is going to take changes on both sides. I guess I was starting to get really defensive when I kept hearing that I wasn't meeting H's needs.
No, we haven't been to counseling. H's take on that is what's the point as long as he is involved with someone else? I agreed with him as why spend the time & money when both people are not fully committed?
My H started on anti-dep medication yesterday. I think that maybe his depression made it virtually impossible for him to pursue employment. He is just too emotionally fragile right now to risk another rejection.
So, for now, I am waiting for the medication to kick in. I wouldn't mind expending a lot of time and effort in Plan A, if I felt that he was making some changes too.
And, in small ways, I have seen some positive changes in him. I suppose I just have to focus on the "baby steps" and keep trying to be patient.
Oh, it's soooooo hard sometimes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
