I need help to save my marriage. We have been together for 10 years and married for 3. We have been living separately for a few months now. He lives with his mum. He has been diagnosed with emotional incest syndrome and it has caused a lot of issues in our relationship. Has anyone been through this and had their marriage work out?

Does he have it with one of your kids or with his own mother?
The emotional incest is with his mother
I feel that he has gone back to live with his mother speaks volumes about what he is willing to do to work on your marriage. I think at this point he has made is choice. I’m sorry, I can’t begin to imagine how difficult this situation must be for you
Well I know nothing about it but the fact he lives with his mother tells me he's not doing what he needs to work on this. How have you been together 10 years through this?
Are you seeing a psych? Best idea to make sure you're thinking clearly and making the best choices for yourself
First he’d have to stop living with his mother and seek counselling. If he can’t do that. I’m afraid it’d all be over for me. Why would he move back in with his mother? Does he not want to try and rectify this?
It will only work out if he wants to fix the problem. Living with his mother is doing the opposite!
