My DH is 51, had a rotten childhood and always feels the need to prove himself. CEO, runs successful business, takes care of himself. Super intelligent and high achieving. He had an intense upbringing (different culture to UK, alpha male Dad and older brothers) and has always struggled with emotions and relationships. He's really stressed with work, finances and he lost his Dad 2 years ago. This seems to have brought up all sorts of negative feelings. He is drinking heavily, has problems sleeping and has occasional panic attacks. I saw my therapist this morning as I am struggling to support him - mostly due to him being totally closed off to me and stone walling me. He is def emotionally avoidant and I think I am anxious attachment. She thinks he is depressed (she has met him as we had some marriage counselling sessions together with her a few years ago) and has recommended that he seeks help - probably a pyschiatrist, medication and EDMR therapy. I agree with her as I know that I cannot fix him. The problem is that he thinks it all a load of bollocks and refuses to go. I don't know how much longer I can continue like this. How can I encourage him to go and see someone?! We have been married for 24 years and have 3 kids (17, 20, 22).
