Hi LadyM,
I really don’t think I have any useful words for you at the moment, other than be patient and follow his lead.
My hubby is 3yrs sober and it was very clear from the beginning that he wanted to handle it alone and his way. All you can do is respect that and make sure he knows you and your partner hold a safe space for him when he is ready.
As for the physical side of your relationship, he is going through a very draining (emotionally and physically) transition right now, he may not have the headspace to deal with that. All you’re lives are going through a massive change and well done for reaching out for your own help.
Take care xx
