Does retro address communication when one partner has anxiety issues?
For example, our marriage counselor would explain our communication as I just want to discuss something and my emotions would be at a level 2 but it would get my hubby very anxious and his level would immediately just to a level 10. Level's being emotional upset. Things would deteriorate.
I mean I fell like we fall into a different category. I know that my wanting to talk about something is me "trying to start something" in his mind.
I really feel at this point that I can not openly discuss some things with my hubby. I, at this point, try to not say what I feel b/c past experience has shown negative results.
