[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. After a few years of couples therapy, the therapist recommended I get a book called Radical Acceptance. She told me to focus on myself and what i need to be happy and build community, hobbies etc to have companionship. The more I monitor my husbands behavior or have expectations about how he should show up, the worse off I am emotionally. From what you write it is very unlikely he will 1) welcome a diagnosis 2) put in the hard work to make incremental changes 3) be willing to admit that he is a big part of the problem or that there even is a problem. I would get yourself a good therapist and build out a life. Communicate clearly (if you aren't already) i.e. "sweetie, the dad jokes are making me feel worse. Could you get me a latte instead?" It is sad when you realize that your spouse is emotionally unavailable for whatever reason. Get some good girlfriends who will support you. [/quote]
