Yes, I know perhaps I should have approached it a little differently but I am so exhausted from always being the one that's brings this to the forefront.
Believe me, I TOTALLY get this. I'm the one who dragged my BF to THREE different therapists. I completely understand the weariness you feel when it's always you who brings up something, and the disappointment when your partner always slithers away from something they claim is important to them. It makes you LIVID, hurt, discouraged, despondent, hopeless, exhausted, anxious... Here you have a fantastic therapist who is handing you the gold-plated tools to make good progress at a slow pace where NO ONE needs to feel threatened or inadequate... and your H is evading, sidestepping, "forgetting," taking refuge in being tired... it's enough to pi$$ off the Pope! (Don't get me started on the Pope, these days!)
All I'm saying is TELL HIM how you feel about the situation instead of keeping your feelings to yourself and tossing out a timid comment that focuses on him, i.e., "I guess this is how you feel, what you're wanting, what you plan to do."
I know this isn't "fair," and that you should not have to doing all of this for some simple straightforward affection... unfortunately that's the hand you've been dealt.
