The funny thing is, I think she liked me always being there around her up until a couple of years ago. Something changed in her as she grew older and I see now that she started feeling smothered by the fact that I didn't have other emotional outlets. For the majority of our R, she was the same way with me. I was her life and she was my life. After being here and reading up on relationships, I now know that this is VERY unhealthy and I am working to correct it. I hope that it doesn't come to D but my W does not seem to be working hard towards R right now.
I read your post as I was waiting for my therapist appt. and within minutes of starting our session today, she said the same thing about the smothering! You should start charging $150.00 an hour for your advice!
