It is a bit of a catch-22...but I did manage to counteract part of that by telling him he could prevent that by fulfilling SOME of my needs....my whole list doesn't need to be checked off in order for me to stay. In fact I think my words to him were..."some of my needs.....any, of my real needs that I've outlined to you." LOL
And yes, we do have an excellent therapist; I'd highly recommend her to anyone in our area. We both really like and respect her. We did manage to cover quite a bit of ground this time, as well as, last time. But I'm finding that we are now concentrating much more on the actual issue too...instead of dancing around it.
