You are absolutely right Maven, The communication breakdown was his, not mine. I have always been honest and straight forward in our relationship, and thought I had married a man who was the same way. He's not, (or wasn't, he's grown by leaps and bounds in the last six weeks), which is why HE is going to see a psychologist. His parents weren't good teachers in the communication department, and when you add to that the fact that he has been spoiled all his life, plus all the trauma he's been through, he really needs to get to the root of his issues. If he doesn't, I fear the same things will happen all over again.

I love him, so I will give him the chance to do so. However, I deserve someone who will value communication and honesty as much as I do. He's been great so far, but I don't want to end up paying the price for his past anytime again in the future.

Thanks for your words.
