I support you, Claire. Your decision to go with his preference is a hard one but I see your reasoning.
Here's the big question:
You stated you noticed a clear necessity to detach. So, what's your plan in that department? He's out town for a bit so it might be a good time to get into a new mindset there. What do you think? What else can you do in this area? I'd make suggestions but I am detachment-challenged. The concept is super simple but implementation is close to impossible. I wonder if that's our human nature to just make things difficult.
Maybe the new Apple watch has a detach button. Wouldn't that be so helpful? Just push it and suddenly enmeshment ends and you're healthily removed emotionally and voila! Things are suddenly easier. If only, right?
Detachment. The hardest part... until the next hard part arises.
