Given the way men can be, I guess it is unrealistic to ask if there is a support group he might agree to attend. Or a social worker or psychologist at the place you receive treatment who he might talk to when you are both there anyway for your therapy....
My husband and I belong to a 12 step program because of me so he might be a TINY bit more open to such suggestions. Not that he has sought out anything.
He is "stoic" like so many men.....I can only imagine what he is going through....
