Can Two Alphas Live Together?

[sage]

Any suggestions on a way I can bring up this subject without it becoming a big blow-up?

Talitsa --

It seems to me (from an outsider's perspective) that you guys have been doing a great job of talking about the tough stuff in an even keeled manner.

You have a good handle on WHY this has made you feel a particular way:

His not honoring our agreement is a big deal to me, because it really causes me to distrust his word, reminds me that after a major betrayal (having an A) he's got some credibility issues with me, and feels like I'm being discounted, taken for granted, and disrespected.

I suspect that h might also be able to articulate his thoughts around it, too...so...not to play JJ or anything but "what's different about the times when you are able to talk about stuff and it goes well?"

Timing?
It's not a reaction? (ie, seems great that you guys didn't pursue it last night after all that MC + you feeling upset + him feeling defensive,etc)
After you've done something fun together?
etc....

Would it work to discuss it in MC?
