Oh, and also, my counselor has talked to me about her concern about his personality traits. She said to me that she has counseled a lot of couples and couples can work through a lot of problems, but what I'm dealing with in my H is very deep and will require probably me dealing with it for the rest of my life.

But...I must admit. When I got married, I knew about his self-loathing. Just didn't know it would go this far. So, I guess, I signed up for that.

I'm just confused.

I do think I need to pull back from him a little bit. Again, for self-preservation.
