Well you dealt with your trigger the best you could in the moment. You should feel proud about that. And he responded lovingly. I know that doesn't solve the issue, though. I know you wish he had more empathy for how his leaving affected you - including in the financial realm. It's a hard thing to keep inside and there's no resolving it until he can see the light so to speak.

Perhaps it's time for that heart to heart?
