I wish that my W had written that letter to me during the 10 months that we were so disconnected emotionally...
Yes Hope, men need to feel respected and appreciated by their S. How you describe the way that you did not treat H that way hit home with me as to how I felt treated by my W during that 10 months. And it caused me to spiral downward just as it sounds like your H has. I didn't act out on my feelings as far as leaving M, but eventually drove my W to leave bc of my depression...
But how, maybe, hopefully, you have an opportunity to show your H what you have learned.
Good Luck Hope
