Yeah, there are some deep issues at work, there. The question is, do you want to put up with him while he gets psychotherapy for a couple of years (assuming he'd agree to it, and assuming you could find someone good, who doesn't just take him for a ride and use him as a cash cow without helping him heal and progress), or do you want to try to find someone who is some of those good things you mentioned, AND a normal, psychologically healthy person capable of a loving relationship? Or do a separation while he works on his issues (assuming he even perceives that he has issues)? I don't think it would work for you two to stay together while he works on his issues. It's one more reason for him to feel deficient fir, and self-conscious around you for. There's too much of a parent-child quality about this relationship.

Yes I agree, I do feel like im his mother more than his wife, he has gone to therapy before, and I know of several good therapist that have worked with friends and co-workers. Im willing to support him emotionally as his wife if he gets the help he needs. If not I have decided to move on with my life, and let God and life deal with him. Hopefully he will realize this before I move on, and wont be to late. Im no were near perfect but I know i can make any man happy. Especially when I want nothing in return my love for him is pure, open and honest, so sad that I hoped with love, support, prayer and God would be enough after 6 yrs, but now he has to accept the help. Thank you for your advice.

So, your children will lose a second father? Nothing you have said indicates he needs therapy?
