Dear loniefaye:

Of the two choices: trying to talk him into staying with you and working on yourself, I advise you to choose the second. The best place to work on yourself would be in the context of therapy with a competent, empathetic psychotherapist, I strongly believe. Have you attended psychotherapy before? If so, what was your experience?

Any insight into the origin of your anxiety?

Will be back to the computer in hours from now and will reply to any post you may add here.
