Great to hear he seems to take it seriously. But I do wonder what made him change his perspective: in my experience, not believing in mental illness (I don't even) is deep-rooted, having much to do with a firm, "therapeutic"/"anxiolytic-rational" believe in control (for me the reason is different: I firmly believe in never having any control).

Edit:
It could just be his "self-transcending" intelligence or wisdom, though. He probably shares that trait with you.


No affair... That I know of?? Lol. But what got the ball rolling was our biggest blowup yet about a wk ago. We both said some nasty stuff and I let him know how alone I feel and unsupported here. I fell off the wagon this night too. It got to the point where bags were packed! Im hoping that he got the point where THIS is who I am and no matter what his demands, I'm not changing. I'm hoping while he googled he realized that I can't change. He also said that he will use a firm hand with my illness and won't let me use it as an excuse to lay in bed all day, ignore the family ect. Which I admit, I do often. If he wants to HELP me improve I'm all for it. But I hope he realized his threats of leaving aren't going to help. I'm also very stubborn (I'm a Taurus lol) and the more people poke me, he harder i dig my heals in. I can be a handful.
