I am one of those people caught in the challenge. I did pull back emotionally and intimacy so it would be more of the same. I am trying to find a middle ground. I try to steer clear of anything personal etc. I am working on the GAL. But when he does talk to me about those daily work and kid things I am far more present which is also different.
The downside is that I feel like i am learning to compartmentalize which is not good. And of course the energy this takes is exhausting. Patience is not one of my things.
