Encouraging Update.
An update for all those who so kindly responded with encouragement.
It's been a tough 24 hours emotionally for my man, but he's really taken on board my seriousness at not tolerating his behaviour. I've made it clear that it's not acceptable and not something I'm prepared to tolerate in our relationship. He's shaken himself up sufficiently enough to begin the process of looking honestly at some deeper underlying issues and is open to seeking professional help. I've offered support but made it clear that he has to be pro active and I can't do it for him. He's an intelligent guy and fully accepts responsibility for change.
This isn't going to be easy and I see a challenging journey ahead of us, but I do feel encouraged and think that the first positive step has been taken.
Blessings to you all.
