The characteristics I relate to are: - Hiding mistakes - Trying to be different to other men who are more outwardly masculine - Avoiding conflict - Avoiding intense discussions about relationships, feelings etc. - 'Clamming up' during serious conversations, afraid of saying something that others might disagree with - Seeking approval - pointing out things I've done when the person I've done them for could easily find out themselves. - Sacrifice personal power - often others would joke that my W 'was in charge' in the relationship
It is eye-opening to see this. Also it's massively saddening that I didn't become aware of this book when I met my wife in 2010!
I have work to do for sure, but I've started it and it's going well.
