I just want to thank everyone here for their input..it has been so much help. He is still talking about going, but today, he actually seemed to be reconsidering. I sent him a long email last night, pouring my heart out, and offering everything I could think of that could help him feel more like himself. I included suggestions that have been posted in this thread. He actually told me that he would take my suggestions to heart and think about them..and he was still bent on going, but would consider another option as well, which is encouraging.
I know all I can do is love him and support him...if he goes...then I guess I have to let him. I cannot force him to stay.
