Hey Hope.

I'll say that the question of "what do you want?" will come up soon.

What do you want?

Is your trust issues causing your M downfall? IOW, it's like if you say he's cheating on you enough times, eventually he will and you'll have your reason to leave.

I'd say you DO need to have those R talks. Tell him what you need from him. Ask him what he needs from you. And then DO.

Check out Tony Robbins' "six human needs" and see what might be missing for the both of you. Maybe that will help you piece what needs to be done.
