Having problems with my patience levels this week. I'm sick of sitting back and waiting, but I know there is nothing to gain from pushing him. He said 2 weeks ago in MC that the root issue is his need to spend time with family/friends and I responded positively that he can get those needs met. He wasn't being prevented from doing so in the first place. I would like to think we made progress with that counseling session, but here we are, no further discussion or problem-solving and still in limbo . Whether he's in his "cave" or MLC "tunnel" or simply being passive-aggressive, I get frustrated and angry. In the past, I would let him know exactly how I was feeling and I know that wasn't helpful then and isn't going to get me anywhere now. I still think I'm better off with him than without him, but the lopsidedness of things right now is hard to take. It does help to think of this in terms of MLC, because then I can think of his behavior as something he's not entirely in control of, but there's a big part of me that wants to say "enough already!"
