I agree. Pretty much the same story in my life. My husband refused to go to therapy, worked all the time and wasn’t there- physically, mentally or emotionally. He’d checked out. I tried. Hard to push a rope up a hill.

I’ve heard this said before that ‘it only takes one person to change a relationship’, however I think that’s only true if the other is still somehow attuned to the person making positive changes. If they don’t even notice, it won’t be likely.

Good advice here though. I’m so happy the relationship in this article worked out. Despite going through a divorce now myself, it thrills me to see and hear about happy couples!
