tta needs to attack complacency and passive aggressive tendencies to break the cycle. And this cycle happens very quickly between them. Which I agree with her Mother on.
CB, what do you mean by that? how do you suggest that i attack complacency and passive aggressive tendencies?
and when you say you agree with my mother, do you mean you think it would happen again no matter what?
I agree with your mother on the recycling of your relationship. She is speaking with wisdom and love here.
As for attacking. You need to really analyze the patterns and write it out. And then come up with some alternate solutions. And perhaps one day will be given the opportunity to have a very open and candid conversation with your H about this and how he needs to get help on this issue.
If not you will at least have learned some new skills for the future.
