Bill, you are correct. He endured my hospitalization, my return to work, and all the stress I endured during my last job, which all came to a breaking point practically for me. At one point, I told him I was feeling suicidal, and we got through that. We've gone through a lot together.

Honestly, I learned that HIS trigger is me forcing him, or seemingly forcing him, to talk about issues when he's not ready or willing to. That's the straw that broke the camel's back on Saturday, but it had not been like that at all for the last many months.
