On my phone but wanted to add this has horrified my WH and part of the reason he is in IC is because he wants help. His mom abused him. The emotional abuse from him was not our whole marriage.

Yeah, my IC says the same thing. I wasn't receptive to that opinion. She described the cycle to me though where he gets distant, I beg, I explode, he apologizes, and then the honeymoon time before he gets distant again. I don't think emotional abuse is always intentional though. I think that someone's personality flaws can cause them to unintentionally emotionally abuse someone.

I don't think it's intentional. I'm not even sure she knows she is doing it. But that's one more thing for me to work through.
