Hi I am glad if what I said was a little over the top as this must mean your R is in a better state than the idea I took from your posts. That's great.
Just because your H prioritises his family above you does not mean he loves you less than them. He has said this is not so as well. This is how he feels he should behave. Perhaps putting his duty to his family above his own selfish needs. If he was abandoned as a child maybe this is why he would feel this way. I am just guessing here. What do you think?
