Patience is key

Kalni, Jen - too funny (hahahaha!!!!) I really appreciate your willingness to help out.

Stella, I understood exactly what you meant by your first post. My gut tells me to do exactly what you suggested.

H has been unhappy for a very long time, even before we got married (although he's been able to hide it off and on throughout our R). He doesn't confront or try to delve into any of the issues. His way of dealing with things is to run, move onto something new that may make him happier, only to discover he's still unhappy. He refuses to acknowledge that there's anything wrong. I really think he may need more than counselling - I think he needs meds. He has suffered from anxiety attacks in the past, mom had (passed away) severe OCD which no one has acknowledged, SIL also has OCD. There's a history of denial in the family. Unfortunately, he refuses to get help. Until he gets help, the pattern will keep repeating itself.
