[QUOTE="witzend, post: 259045, member: 99"] Yes, "likely" seems much more realistic than "inevitable". After all, he may get hit by a car or develop a terminal cancer and [i]not[/i] make another attempt. The "Next time I attempt I will not fail" statement is very concerning. That sounds like a plan. I don't know how you do it, GG. I know it seems cruel, but what would happen if you said something to the effect of "Next time you talk like that I am leaving because I can't do it anymore"? Is it possible that he takes for granted that you will stay forever no matter what he does? I'd really look into more inpatient [i]right now[/i] for him, even though it seems hopeless. Has he tried ECT? I know it sounds barbaric, but they know much more about it now than they used to, and many people swear by it. [/QUOTE]
