I'm so glad I found your thread. Very similar stuff!!
"I came home and H was concerned. I told him the truth. I struggle to be close to him when I get these triggers. I'm not angry. I'm trying to take care of myself."
Oh god, this is me. My H sees my face and will ask and ask until I tell him. It's one part "I take care of me" and another part "I don't want to throw guilt at him"
I am "in love" with my H again, as he is with me. But, sometimes even when ML, I'll have a trigger.
From this day forward, and one day at a time really help me. My wall comes up when I feel him pull away or have a trigger. So hard to keep from erecting that dang wall...
