Today I got a few txts. He's been trying to communicate, but only under his very limited rules. "When you're ready to talk like a normal couple, rather than "bible talk" posturing, then I'll take you seriously."
Which is strange because he's the one who keeps trying to frame it in biblical terms. I can work within that to some degree, but of course he's the expert. Now there's this. Of course, he sees all my validation attempts, etc, as "psycho babble" because he knows what it is. It's really easy to get defensive here, or to shut down...which I know won't help either. Tips, friends?

At a counselor, he said he wanted the marriage but not to work on himself w/a IC. Piecing?
