1. This is only MY theory, i haven't read it anywhere... 2. I am also suggesting they don't even KNOW its a test...
Think of it like your kids running away from home... They dont' WANT to leave do they? I honeslty think a lot of them want some attention and want to know you love them and you will come after them...
Ya I know, you chase them and pursue your spouse and they brush you off again...
It's a rough test, they are REALLY gonna but you through the ringer...
And I think sometimes it is a subconcious test, sometimes I think they seriously intend to leave but have to fight their attchment instincts... etc
It's not always going to be a test, but I think a large number of them are...
SR, you H I would say IS testing you, but I think he has no idea it is even happening... I think HE thinks he's in love and just pursuing that...
I think subconsiously he's an angry little child and will always test those he's around because he has a lot of trust issues...
Bear with me, that's psycholanalys over an internet forum.. Don't put too much stock in it. lol
