I think good therapist will see things through and help to navigate these issues. I think it’s positive that he is willing to go to therapy if he is sincere about it.

I think that person on the other group meant that sometimes people just do or say a bit here and there to keep the other partner hopeful. Now the person is hopeful, when things go bad again they’ll do and say something else to keep them hopeful again, so they never leave. I am not saying that’s what he does at all but that’s what I think that woman meant

Yess...... thanks Divine. The woman in that group it seems is very stuck in an abusive situation that she for one reason or another cannot get out of. And people project their own issues all the time.

Yes, perhaps my husband said that just to keep me engaged and from leaving him.

I have to now plan a bit differently, how this is going to go.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
