Relationships - Expectations

I grew up in dysfunction, my parents should have divorced when I was young, they didn't. I never had a stable idea of an emotionally healthy relationship.

After years of therapy I am getting there. My OH is incredibly emotionally detached. I myself haven't helped with my own issues but I have and continue to sort through them. I just wanted to ask anyone that's interested in sharing, what is your idea of an emotionally healthy reciprocal relationship?

I need more in my relationship, that I know but because of my background, I know my expectations are skewed even if I am getting there with therapy.

Fair enough, it sums it up really doesn't it. 😕
