Hi, thanks for the reply.

It does indeed seem like a mountain at the moment! I understand your point about positive steps and I feel like I have been doing pretty well on that - trying to correct the things that were wrong in the M before H's crisis, trying to make ME a better person. So we've had better family time, generally making home a more positive place for him, made time for us to go out as a couple. However these are all things I've initiated, he does even less than he did before this MLC. I am having trouble seeing any commitment on his part to our relationship at the moment.

We don't talk about our R, we don't talk about steps to make things better, we don't talk about the future at all! I know that I should wait for him to bring it up and that he may not be capable of talking at the moment but it is very frustrating.

I'd be interested in any ideas for suitable strategies......
