First, congratulations to you.

This seems like a problem that only time will fix. I think your husband is probably scared. Suspicion and cynicism are defenses against being devastated by this disease once again. To approach your sobriety instantly with an open heart and total vulnerability is a scary proposition. And, no personal offense intended, it probably isn't a very good idea. It's clear that he supports you: he is still with you, he is attending alanon and therapy.

I guess my suggestion is this: have compassion for your husband. If you'd like, maybe read a couple of threads in this section and try and understand what he has been going through. And try not to make it about you and take it super-personally.

I wish you the best of luck!
