She says she feels lonely with me. How do I address this if I am detaching? This is what confuses me. I do invite her to wall the dog with me or watch a show with me, but she declines. I am trying to figure out how to be available yet detach. I am trying to remember complaints and feel like I am being honest. I am by no means perfect. I can be inattentive, unaffectionate, and off in my own head. I take on lots of things and then get stressed and freak out. I can (unintentionally not take her seriously or value others ideas over hers). I have made her feel like I don't value her contributions to the household before. I have made her feel like she is not heard.
