Recognising the cycle where you start to pull apart is also very important - don't forget it because it is easy to slip into. We call a 'time out' sometimes when we see ourselves sliding into it, to give one another space to calm down, and then we are willing to reconnect.

To be honest, it scares me. It's like she's two different people.
