Thank you @grit. I appreciate that.

Yup... this is .... largely what couples therapy is about. There's all of our personal life experiences and nuances thrown in that create this dynamic. My personal therapist calls its it the dynamic of the Pursuant and the Avoidant when it comes to us. I pursue, he avoids. I want things to be a...

I have been in therapy for a number of year. Yes, you caught on to many of my key issues. I have my own trauma, for sure. It's stuff that is deeply embedded in my psychology. I suppose I should also be here as a sufferer, and a supporter as well. You're right the cycle is bad. War on war. We...
