Ok, I guess we cross posted, I see your follow up reply. I see what your saying (you can be so cryptic at times). Yeah, I agree we need to do something like that, and in a way, that is exactly what we did last week on the phone. Phone calls seem to work better for us. She doesn’t feel so overwhelmed, she feels the physical distance, neither of us get as reactive.
But these relationship talks touch on some deep vulnerabilities and I have always had trouble getting her to talk about these things. The only way I can get to these levels is to just keep pressing past all the deflections and excuses. Eventually we get there and make some good progress.
