Perhaps you didn't have emotional intimacy because you weren't ready for that either. We have to feel really safe to have that. What's your definition of emotional intimacy.

I can say that my H and I have much greater EI than we've ever had and we've been together a long time. We have that because I feel safe and a lot of that had to come from me and my work on myself. He had very little to do with that process.

You do have to be with someone who can accept and support that intimacy and in turn, be intimate with you.

Someone you trust with the most precious thing you have, you.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
