@karenmarian2 Exactly what you said, "When you love someone nothing should stand in the way of support." You may have to look deep within you to figure out just how to impress him on this point. I have been there, still doing that, myself, unfortunately. Would telling him you feel abandoned make him run further away or draw you closer, do you think? Do you have a trusted friend, counselor or religious figure you could confide in to give you some support?
