I'm all for individual sessions. I've supported her brief attempts at individual counseling multiple times before.
What irks me about this is her mildly dramatic claim that there are things that bother her about me that she doesn't want to tell me because it might hurt my feelings. Yet, at the same time, she willfully denies the importance of the hurt I've been feeling for the last many years on the daily basis. It feels like she is manipulating the situation, trying to change the subject so we don't get to the real issues.
Maybe my flaws are the root of her apparent need to reject me. I'll try to be open to it, if and when I get to hear them. But, that's not how I've experienced it. And, it stings. I've not been perfect, but from the beginning I've been supportive of her to the extreme. I've given and given to support her needs and whims. She doesn't appreciate me. And, from my perspective, what flaws I see in myself have been made worse by her continued rejection of me.... I guess she and I must see things pretty differently, good thing we are in counseling!
I know, I should let it go. Just feeling a bit impatient I guess.
