Tough...huh? I know. Dropping the rope is no pressure, no expectations, true giving, and letting go of your fears. You absolutely have to stop any desperate, demeaning behavior. It gives your power away, and deteriorates the relationship further. Give him forgiveness, time, and space to develop or recapture his sense of self-worth and individualism...it's the best thing you can do for your troubled relationship. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
