Talk to the doctor. Be supportive and loving, but take nothing he says to heart. I'd like to ask him to sleep upstairs, but I won't. It will just be rejection to him and won't help the sitch. Take some time for myself to be alone and spend some time with my close friends. Keep going to the gym Whatever H does or says, I won't allow myself to be trapped into believing that things are back to normal. I.e., he's sure to do something to try to "prove" that he's not having problems so we can go back to pretending and he can avoid facing the problems
See, you know what to do!
I'm glad the hot shower chilled you out (ironically). As to how to make him see that he has to pull himself up to where you are in this R, I don't think you can do it actively. You just avoid giving in to something that's not as healthy until he has no choice but to join you. But it's gotta be his doing. You've been leading him to water...
So anyway, stay happy with yourself. You have lots of reasons to act cheerful. You have a great idea in laying out future plans to increase his security level. I love how you're gonna try to change the subject on him when discussions head in a direction you don't want them to go (I need to remember that one myself, big time).
Much butt is being kicked here by you, Sheila. When your leg gets tired, just take a hot shower!
