I was ride or die, I fired two therapist because they were pretty adamant on suggesting indirectly I walk away. The third therapist did a phenomenal job on helping me sort and process and when I gained the needed skills to override myself and acknowledge both of us, I realized he is not ready for what I'm ready for. He loves me, but he just cannot give and it will probably be years if ever. He doesn't comprehend that. I looked at three years and realized I want certain things and I'm can't get those years back and as much as he wants them too, we are not on the same page let alone not even in the same book right now. The best you could do for the both of you is consider stepping back and focusing on you while he does EMDR. With EMDR it will get worse before better. If its meant to be it will be.
