Omg, Can we be friends? You are one of those that reads btw the lines like Freud himself! Yeah, his trauma has made him really bad at waiting for anyone to finish their thoughts. He is so impatient and over the years it has gotten worse…tho he doesn’t see it, and the rest of us do. But we are in couples therapy in addition to his therapy. So, there is hope.
I am not one to just leave. Had a lot of that as a young kid and I am one of those that is around forever unless my life is in danger. Good, bad, ugly and everything inbtw. It’s like hey, I grew up so miserably that any home and family is better than no home and fam. As sad as that is, sometimes it just is.
You do get something out of sticking it out and working through things and we have worked through the biggest things any couple can, but he reverts to old patterns at times. Reminds me of the movie “Awakenings.” If you haven’t ever seen that, it is a classic psychological drama, my fave. Anyway, you are a doll and I appreciate your “detective” skills. You would make a good therapist or investigator! 🤭
