Hi Denise/Neicie, ( Is Neicie your nickname in RL? It's cute)
It's interesting that by you making this move to go to the counselor on your own, it got you and your H talking in a very real way. I like the openness of the convo...he was able to disclose how awful he is feeling, and I imagine that is a big part of his attitude problem with you. This really is a step forward, and it shows again how one person can make an effort and faciliate change. Good luck... Journey
