Thank you.
I did tell him, however, and he is now taking responsibility. He says he's willing to go to therapy.
I know that this still doesn't mean it will work. It may not work, and I may still need to leave him. But he's willing and wants to try therapy. He asked me to give him a chance. So I am, but I am entering into this with my eyes wide open and a skeptical mind.
