If I compare my childhood side by side with my marriage, it looks kinda like this:
1. My father never wanted to spend time with me
1a. My husband doesn’t spend time with me
2. My father physically and emotionally abused me
2a. My husband minimizes and invalidates my feelings and emotionally abused me
3. My father was emotionally absent
3a. My husband withholds sex, intimacy and affection
