Try to get him to just a counselor to start, then see if they can change his mind about getting meds if he needs it. And to be honest i threatened divorce,because its not fair, its one thing to do something about it and its another to refuse.

Hi Goldengirl1988. Thank you for for sharing. My husband has seen a therapist, but like everything he tries, he only commits a few times before saying “it doesn’t work.” I think low-dosage medication may help, but he can be really stubborn. I recently suggested an online support group to him and he wasn’t exactly interested. How did you get your husband to even consider meds, if you don’t mind me asking.
