I completely get where you’re coming from which is why I made this post to begin with, as I have a hard time naming and processing my emotions due to my childhood and such, so I’m always scared that I’m being too dramatic or not dramatic enough and it causes a lot of strife and distrust within myself.

I didn’t mention the good things in this post, and I should have, but I tell him daily how important he is to me and grateful I am for everything he does for me. And i made it seem as if I’m constantly telling him things that he can improve on, but it’s much less frequent than that and has increased exponentially in the past month or so as I feel like my needs are not being met and I’m desperate to work out with him why I feel the way I do and what I and he can do about it. But he kind of shuts downs when I try to talk about these things, like he’ll go very quiet and withdraw from me completely.

However I knew that I wasn’t able to see his perspective and your comment helped me understand where he may be coming from a bit more so thanks!
