Since he says that he is willing to do marital counseling, I suggest that you go to a Retrouvaille weekend first. You can find dates and locations on their website at www.helpourmarriage.org. They have an excellent way of making both spouses understand how their actions affect the other. And they will teach you a communication method that will help you. You can always follow the weekend up with MC, or you may find that the Retrouvaille program is all you need (there is more to it than just the weekend, but you do the weekend to start.)
