Understand dear Do you think it is easier to be compassionate since you know that his issues are mental health/childhood related? My H suffers with OCD/anxiety since childhood. It wasn't until he was diagnosed and started getting treatment that he stopped feeling like a total failure and I started to understand it wasn't about our R or me really. It was more about him running from failure and seeking happiness. Leaves us with a complicated ball of wax to deal with, but I'm a little more grounded when he gets a case of the crazies knowing what is at the heart of it.
