Just popping in to see how you're doing. Our sits have often mirrored eachothers. In reading today I found yet another similarity.
Quote: H’s response was that he’s being asked to change to fit in with MY lifestyle.
It could be that I'm reading your h's meaning of this wrong but it sounds too much like what my h said when I mentioned his drinking habbits.
My h is suddenly more sociable, talkative etc...when I mention he's been drinking a bit much lately his response is "well maybe I should go back to being the misserable, socially closed off person I was before"
well that's a statement that could lead to a more in deapth discussion like "why do you feel you need to drink to be sociable with me?"
but then I got this response on antoher night when making reference to his drinking frequency "I've been more sociable, more talkative and more attentive with you haven't I...if I want a couple of drinks to unwind that shouldn't be a problem"
Oh, well I guess my h needs to take anti anxiety meds, consume alchohol and watch porn in-order to be social with me...such is life.
well now I've just gone and rambled about my sit here. I wish I knew the majic cure for all this bs.
