1. His constant need for time alone--depersonalizing it 2. His coping mechanisms--self medication and avoidance 3. His fence sitting 4. His deliberate avoidance of me in my presence
Things about ME that I will consider
1. My wants and needs and expressing them 2. My seemingly incessant need for affirmation 3. My tendency to feel victimized by his leaving
Things I have considered and will not allow in my M
1. Over-indulgence in alcohol 2. Avoiding conflict at all cost 3. Emotional or physical affairs 4. Lack of communication at whatever level works (that is, I won't be unreasonable if his way is different than mine) 5. Lack of affection--both verbal and physical
**Note: I might modify these with a little more time and thought.
