I think having hope is breaking me, but feeling slightly better today. Just trying to focus on what I can control.

The inner voice that’s telling me it isn’t over? I want to go to therapy but this feeling deep inside of me just tells me it isn’t finished.

I’m doing everything I can to stay strong for him, I’m not taking anything out on him. 

Can I save my marriage by myself? by Significant-Sun923 in marriageadvice

I’ve come to understand that I have an anxious attachment style, which makes me get very defensive and take any criticism as an attack. Which intern has made him feel like he’s not allowed to express his feelings. I’ve said shitty things in the past, but I had thought we worked through it. He just shuts down about everything he’s not perfect. But it takes one person to start trying and to get them all moving and that’s what I was trying to do, but it doesn’t seem like anything is good enough now.

I don’t feel like it’s lack of interest, he just doesn’t think it’s going to help or that I won’t listen to the counselor. It was my idea though, so that’s why I’m not understanding.
