change is constant and you both have to change not just one side otherwise it wont work.

I am sorry for your issues and I do hope they get better. Keep fighting.

Thank you! I know you are right. Tonight he admitted this may well be a midlife crisis but he has no idea on how to make himself feel better. I told him happiness was a conscious decision you make. He did ask for help from me so I feel encouraged. I have been telling him some of my needs, tonight I told him I need to make my partner happy, without that I feel empty. I don't make him happy and so I feel so empty inside. He said "you don't make me unhappy". I told him it was not enough. Making a list is a good idea.
