Thanks so much for your response Perna. At this point I'm not sure how to word exactly what you said without causing offence, as this could be taken as criticism. This is what I'm dealing with and the situation is very delicate. My husband fled his home and life in a most immature manner, and he has not been in touch much for 6months - this is extreme behaviour, and reactive on his part. I am very concerned about him, and the story is so stupid in my mind......
He was having an affair and I think this catapulted him into leaving so suddenly, that relationship is over now, and he is living with his parents.
Maybe I should reinforce my love and support for him, we are both suffering so much without each other. He tells me he loves me, but that for him it is better to let go.
What does that mean? It makes no sense at all to me, and it is like a really childish situation.
I really think that his issues of worthiness and esteem need to be addressed by me in the most sensitive way possible... Has anyone any insight to how I can convey a message of support?
Thanks for all psych advice!
