No I really appreciate your honest input. I have felt brave enough to talk about what’s been going on to people close to me and it’s really hard for them to say what they really think without them being embarrassed.
I definitely don’t know what will work for him but your experience is helping me to think of this differently. You know how he thinks. Yes he would say she won’t let me do anything, she’s just telling me what to do, especially with the influence of his friends.
Thats really great that you didn’t stop, well done, your partner must be so proud.
