I know what you mean. While we can be comforted knowing there are many of us "out there" finding our way, our spouses do not comprehend this, nor do they want to consider they are experiencing something fairly common. They want to feel like their own individual journey is oh so unique. I think it is part of the self absorption of this phase. When my H talks about his "angst" it is like he is describing a painful experience that no one else on the planet has ever encountered. How can he think he is so unique. Are there really any new human truths under the sun that have not been examined and experienced? It is further support for being stuck in an adolescent phase.
Feeling like I am talking way too much about him and not enough about how I am evolving and likely my friend 25yearsmlc will come around and give me a dose of "get over it" medicine.
