Quote: I think the main reason he doesn't want me to go on the trip is that he is jealous of my relationship with my sisters. This is hard for me to understand because from my POV they are very different types of relationships, but maybe from an LD POV it would make sense to be jealous of sibling or other platonic relationships because the sex component of a marital relationship seems less important.
Remember that the curse of the 4 is envy. Fours tend to think that other people have some secret to happiness that is unavailable to them (I tend to think this way).
Your repeatedly saying "this is hard for me to understand" is the kind of thing that makes us 4's label 7's as superficial. To me (and we 4's REEK with empathy) it would be quite easy to see where he would be jealous of the close relationship you have with your sisters-- and it is in NO way related to sex. I'm a childless only child and he11, I'M jealous.
The tone of your posts is so often, "He behaves/believes in this totally incomprehensible way. It just doesn't make any sense." This is VERY much the position my bf takes with me. When he's hurting or something bugs him, I make an effort to understand (usually a successful effort), but when the shoe is on the other foot, he just slaps a label on me-- "hormones," "tired," "bad mood"-- that is, IF he bothers to notice my state at all, and moves on.
