I think it gets confusing and complicated when kids are involved. If H leaves he leaves not just me, but his home, his sons, his life. He stands to lose a lot. I think he hesitates because he sees the big picture. I don't think he's staying because of ME. But I will never agree to a platonic marriage. For now, that is what we have...that is fine.
Maybe I am too optimistic? I still have hope.
I guess I need patience.
thanks for your insight.
I wonder if MC is helping. H says it is. He seems very earnest in wanting to go. Two sessions ago the therapist asked if we wanted to make another appointment.
H said right away YES! And at the same time I said "What's the point?" H looked at me like "really?" and then I agreed to come back.
