Why are you forgiven, as though you've done something wrong? This woman's approach to your relationship is flawed at the core - she seems to think it centres around 'her', when it should centre around you both.
More than once I've had that impression; she has a different expectation about a relationship than I do.
To be fair, there are times when she dotes on me, but... this is hard to describe... when it comes to certain actions, such as rubbing sore shoulders or making a meal for one another, we both do it... but on the emotional level there's an imbalance... she gets upset quickly if I don't provide the right responses, or don't do the right thing, or... I am afraid to be honest with her, or even go beyond safe topics... I censor myself...
I suppose I have to watch the Sex and the City movie, because she has said more than once that I would understand her better by doing so...
She's like an adolescent in some ways. But I'm slow to let her go. I hesitate.

ReplyDeleteDito from me. I hadn't thought you had done anything wrong.
