Hi GBO - I used to torture myself with wanting to get to grips with underlying issues, and the more I see NG in a new perspective, the more I think there is depression here, and he needs to accept it. He has very strong aversion to even the term, there is family history of depression going back 4 generations.
But, the clock on the cooling off period just started ticking again - a couple of weeks ago he discovered some of ow's deception, went through a bad night, and detached from a/ow even further. But it all feels raw again, I'm sure. I suspect we may have several of these cycles before we are really done.
I'm honestly taking each day as it comes. Life in simpler
