I would keep at him about the marriage counseling. Have you also considered if he is suffering from depression? My hubby was but didnt get help till after we split. Feel free to pm me hun, there is more to my story as well which is too painful to admit which I would share in pm.
Big Hugs!!!! I know exactly how you are feeling and you are not worthless and unlovable. He is the one missing boat on a terrific lady.

StayC yes I believe he has depression and anxiety. He had a rough childhood and he is not expressive. I always knew he wasn't a great communicator but I thought in time I could change that with love and understanding!!! It's 25 yrs later and he hasn't changed all that much. I will encourage him again to get the help we/he needs. he chooses to numb himself with scotch and the occasional ativan. This leaves me out and alone! I am always here if u need me also. Would love to hear your story if its not to painful. I believe I can learn from others experiences! thanks
