I've asked him to shut down the "secret" email and he is willing to do that but it's kind of a hassle to delete it. He did give me the password and I've set up blocks for her email addresses so I'm fine with that.

I'm not hung up on him reading a book or two, the issue is that he isn't doing anything to improve the sitch as far as I know. And I have told him this is my perception and asked him to tell me what he's doing to combat that perception if it's false, but he really hasn't done anything other than planning dates and spending time with me. And I think the book(s) would be right up his alley because he's an avid reader whereas I am not a reader at all. Books or couseling, I would be happy with either right now as a first step.

And I will try harder to keep in mind that he will process things differently and allow him to do so.


If you love somebody, set them free.
