Well, just got a text from him yelling at me about contacting his friends and family and to just leave him alone. (I only contacted them with concern about the addiction problem I think he is wrestling and asked them to keep an eye on him and talk to him if they could. They know I want to work on my marriage, but that isn't their problem.)

I responded that he would have done the same if he was concerned about me the way I am him. That I cared about him regardless of the things he was saying to me. Understood he was hurting and angry and would do as requested re no contact.

And there's that. On to GAL - my life back - and feeling good again. There is peace in knowing I've done everything I could and can do no more except for myself.
