You know what? I DO feel a bit better. And I am glad I was able to get all of this off my chest with him in private, without my parents present ( which would humiliate him immensely) and without incident.
It is SUCH a HUGE relief.
AND..... I am SO glad that HE offered to go to therapy, without my prompting him or even begging him.
If you could have seen him last night. He was SO upset that I wanted to divorce him. He was visibly shaken up. I have never seen such upset in my entire life.
Now he needs to walk his talk and follow through. He needs to actually listen to a therapist, learn, change and grow. He has a lot of work to do, and I told him I may not even have the patience.
We shall see.
I have my therapy appt today, so lots to discuss. I will ask for referrals for couples therapy.
