…to an extent. Been married to DH a long time. Teenage kids. We’ve had a tough few years and I’d say our marriage is at the rockiest it’s ever been. There is one particular issue that seems to cause most of our problems. I don’t really want to say what because I think we’ll derail into a discussion about the issue itself, which I’m not asking about 😂
What I am asking is this - I’ve become aware that the reason I am so unhappy is that the issue ties into some quite severe trauma from my childhood. I recognise this, I’ve tried to explain to DH, but he’s not really getting it, and I remain angry and resentful. But it’s become clear to me that, even though DH’s handling of this and his communication/empathy levels leave much to be desired, the main ‘problem’, as it were, lies with me.
Can anyone relate, and how did you navigate that?
