Partner left after 9 yrs - 18months on, reunited !

[AliSuddenly]

Hey, thanks Mish, thanks for rooting for me! I do need to keep posting it seems!
Rob, its such a turnaround and when I look back now, alot of the 'dramas' in our R (like how we didnt get together in 96 but did in 99, my later EA, how we missed out on a house in 2001).. were all linked to his depressive episodes. Of course we didnt know that then, or I didnt, it was only verbalised after he left me.

So he's very down, but after we researched it, he spent £50 on supplements! (5HTP, Folic Acid, B vits, Selenium and Flaxseed/Omega oils).. he's very very committed to solving this. He's been on the Brazil nuts since Thursday and he has some more sport arranged so he may have 4 fixtures a week now. I talked to him briefly about Passionate Marriage and just the theory of being a "differentiated person" may help him to be more his own man.. he asked me to find it and wants to read it with me. Lastly, he DID make the doctors appointment for this week and will ask for blood tests, but.. he is not showing signs of being able to get into any kind of therapy or counselling so far, which is a shame.

He's losing his hair, which we think is stress. Alot has fallen out since we got back together in May (!) and he looks different to when we were in Greece even. He is very upset about this (and me).

So, I'm having a bit of a hard time, but he's really trying this time and is glad I am helping too. He just came to hug me and said "I'm sorry I'm like this, I know its so hard on you and I hate it too.. ", I suggested we play scrabble and he looked pleased at that! So I'm off to do that and between you and me, I am going to let him win... (well, he is a Leo and he's depressed enough without losing on top!!)
