[QUOTE="ML, post: 275614"] I can relate to this very much. I wonder if some of some men are capable of that kind of connection. Particularly alcoholic men. As you know mine has been in recovery for 8 months now and does his AA a few times a week and sees his sponsor. Some things are definitely better but he's still emotional unavailable a lot of the time and I know it's about him and not about me. He has trouble with intimacy. I have stopped expecting anything spectacular from this marriage. Back to you. I suggest finding a separate counselor to see you together and that way you keep this one just for you. Yes, that is three therapists but so what. Yours, Mine and Ours :) Don't rush a decision. In the meantime lower expectations and work your own recovery with the counselor. I'm so glad you found someone you like so much. You are right where you need to be and more will be revealed. Love, ML [/QUOTE]
