TimBobby,<p>It's very natural. You've been dealing with a inordinate amount of stress, and this is your Taker's way of getting you back for being in Giver's mode for so long.<p>But put the "Taker" back in the closet for a while. Convince him that he'll get his if he has some more patience. It's very important that you show patience and love now: reach out to your wife, don't smack her knuckles with a ruler.

I was drawn to your heading because during our last separation, I pretended my H was Jonah in the belly of the whale. Jonah didn't want to do what God wanted, but when he did, the result was stupendous.<p>My H was very uncomfortable in counselling because the counselor did concentrate on him. Why not? I was totally committed to the marriage and to making it work and my H wanted it too, but not enough to enable the counselor & me to have the truth to work with (his affair, now confessed and he's back home and really desiring reconciliation with me and the children).<p>Holding hands during a session can both connect you and anchor her. It decreased my H's anxiety.
