Get through. Just don't 'get through' too long.

Point taken.

IMO, most spouses go to counseling with the intent of showing the other how wrong the other is and how right s/he is. If your H thinks he can "prove" this to you, then he might go. But you will know it is all projection on his part and you can detach from his attacks. Your H left counseling when he thought the tables were being turned on him. So maybe you just needed a smarter, shrewder counselor.

I see what you are saying. I can ask him. You can't get much smarter or shrewder than my H though....someone who is trying to protect something will sense danger from a mile away kwim? He knows a C would eventually shed the light on him. But I can still ask.

I'm just sort of getting through the days right now. I still just don't feel like giving H the time of day. At work I've been letting his calls go to voicemail and I call back if it's important. Honestly I'm surprised he is still calling me. As I predicted he no longer tousles my hair or tells me goodnight. I'm ok with it.

I just don't see where the R can move forward right now. But I'll try to stay the middle ground and do no harm so that we at least don't go farther backwards.
