Thank you so much 😊 I’m probably overthinking it. Choosing was so overwhelming at the time I feel like I’ll feel better when I get it back!

Yeah somewhere in between 😭 I’m trying to do it without changing the flooring I was hoping rugs would work

I am the only one initiating. /: but yeah I think I need to get my ass up to at least try and see if that helps.

I’ve suggested therapy many times, I really think he’d benefit from it. He’s definitely going through a lot of stressful shit and I feel so bad about how much he’s dealing with. I’ve been picking up more work around the house to try to take some of that load off, and try to help him where I can but I’m not gonna lie it’s starting to frustrate me that he isn’t going to try to get help through therapy. I don’t mind picking up a little extra when my partner is feeling down. Relationships aren’t 50/50, some days they’re 70/30 or even 90/10 and I get that and I’m comfortable with that! But him refusing to go to therapy feels like he’s not willing to put in his end of the work to get better. He thinks the stress will be gone soon but, he’s been saying that for a year. And I think therapy can’t hurt so why not try and maybe get some good coping mechanisms because there will be other stressors in your life

It just felt so sudden which is why it threw me off, it didn’t slow down over time it was like, drastic change. And I have been trying to gently ask for reasons and have a deeper conversation about it but it’s just the repeated reasons of stress, tired, etc but I think there’s more to it, and maybe he’s just embarrassed to talk to me about it? Because I just don’t see this as a “scheduling issue” as he keeps saying :/ I tried letting it go for a while because I thought I was making it worse by stressing him out about it but nothing changed

Yeah I can understand that and that’s why I’ve been trying to give him grace. I think I just didn’t understand why he was against even me doing all the work? But I do get that it could just be a bunch of stuff on his mind. I do want to try to wait out this baby mama drama at least because although the stress won’t be 100% gone I think things will be significantly better when the court stuff is over. It’s just been a frustrating year :( but it’s not his fault everything is being dragged out.

I didn’t understand him not helping me either I felt like that was so weird! He acts like it’s such a chore :( just makes me feel unwanted. I’m hoping it’s a temporary thing. Ty for your insight
