Thank you for responding to my question (My husband of 17 years is not "in love" with me)...it helped me, but my husband is afraid of therapy. He is frightened that if they dig deep, the answer may be that he does not love me, and our lives will be forever changed. Help us to be strong.

I think I suggested this before, but if not, ask your husband to start using my Masteringstress Program(its only $30 for 30 days) and ask him to request a review from me. I may be able to help him get started and show him what counseling is all about...its not about causing more problems, its about resolving problems.
