Why do you keep placing you husband in your family's scenerios? And they are always the worst case scenerios?
how about
he skyped you (yay)
he wants to go running with you (yay)
you threw him a roadblock of sorts and he offered another alternative (yay)
you are also, it seems, turning this into some sort of competition...in referencing talking to the therapist you mentioned it was a lose lose type scenerio even and the therapist kept saying you are doing the best you can but maybe the therapist isn't looking at your husband with disappointment...maybe he is looking at your that way
you are not there to judge your husband using your therapist tools
it is hard when we are trained in certain things not to use that in our home life dealings too
but we can't
in this process, you are both damaged and need help from the professionals
you are NOT that professional
you are NOT there to solve your husbands issues or label them for him
and
when you set him up to fail by constantly suggesting that he will run if things get hard, then why wouldn't he??/
why would he try to fight against your PROFESSIONALNESS all the time? your need to label and your all-knowing psychology-ness?
