For instance, my H is very closed off emotionally, and I'm very open and heart on my sleeve. He loved that about me in the beginning of our relationship, but it was a huge barrier to our ability to communicate and connect as time went on.
Explain this in a little greater detail, please. How did something what was loved become a huge barrier? One or both of you changed in a way as to make this unpalatable for both. Either he grew tired of hearing it or you grew tired of doing it. Either way, it leads us in a roundabout way to the question I've put on another thread regarding just what we are willing to over look in a partner...which relates to choosing right/wrong. Knowing issues before hand and thinking they aren't big but still overlooking them will lead to the same issues rearing their head later one. Ask me how I know.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
