Hi Mishika,

I’m sorry I didn’t respond sooner, but the notification was in my spam folder so I didn’t realize your had posted. I appreciate your input very much, and I read the article, and other articles referenced on that website, and it has helped my peace of mind already.
I went for counselling and will be going again, and he’s agreed to go too, which is positive. I’m looking for healing for my own troublesome emotions which are manifested in a lot of physical pain. I can’t see him opening up about his own emotions, which he’s been
keeping buried for, I suspect, most of his life. However, we both wanted this to be our last (and hopefully) best relationship, and I’m willing to work on that – he says he’s willing too, but whether he’s capable of it might be a different story.
