We often wonder if we are not the one having a midlife crisis?? I believe that we are.. Not because we lost our mind but because we are FORCED to battle this in order to survive. We are forced to readjust ourselves and our life on top of dealing with them and their spew.. I read somewhere that the spouse of MLCer are the strongest people on earth.. I BELEIVE THIS !!!!

I entered a relationship recently and have discovered that I do have more work to do on my raw emotional state.. When a conflict arise, I shut down. I am afraid to lose ME again. I cannot make our relationship a priority on my list. I knew it would bring both good and bad. This man promised to give me the love I deserved and he does. I, on the other hand , don' t feel like I can do the same. I worked so hard to find myself and now, I feel selfish. I see myself trying to please everyone and it seems like demands keep adding up. I have no "me" time. I voiced my concerned and he told me to take all the time I needed. 2 days later, he broke up with me in a text. This morning, he wants us to go to councelling together. We have been together since valentines day... We have met 3 yrs ago and have been close friends. He was someone I talked to and look up to for support. He knows my entire story and knew what he was taking on when he made his move.. now, I am confused. I don' t know what to do.
