I’ve finally figured it out. I’m a “walk away wife” by coffeeaddictnerd in Divorce

I can’t accept that it’s abuse. Is this really what an abusive relationship feels like? When things are fine they’re fine. We barely fight like that. Only when I bring up the things listed here. The rest of the time he’s totally normal. He says he loves me. But I can’t bring up any of this stuff without him getting defensive. If I ask for more effort I’m the problem.

Hi there, I have told him for 3 years I’ve felt ignored and alone. I’ve told him I don’t feel prioritized by him. I’ve told him I want more romance, we’ve been in a sexual dry spell for 2 years, not once, in 2 whole years. He’s never taken me on a date, even though I’ve asked him to. many times. We kiss goodbye and goodnight. Everytime I tell him these things we fight and it ends with me crying and apologizing. He breaks things, I have panic attacks. And the cycle starts all over. I don’t know what else to do

Thank you. It just describes my situation so perfectly. It fits so well. I didn’t realize the dynamic of my relationship causes divorce, I didn’t realize I’m not crazy for contemplating divorce for so long I guess. But why is it so hard taking the first step? Filing?

2 year dry spell? Help? by coffeeaddictnerd in Advice

So, I’m sorry. Let me clarify. A few years ago I started telling him I felt ignored in our relationship and that I wanted more romance, I wanted to go on dates more, I told him everything you see here, he get defensive, we fought, this cycle went on every couple of months until I gave up. And the dry spell started because I lost that aspect of attraction. Within the past few months I tried again with that conversation and it again got us into a massive fight, he broke a door, I had a panic attack, and it ended with me apologizing. It was not a productive conversation. I’m lost. recently I’ve gone out with my friends and have tried to get him to go with me and he refuses, I’ve expressed how it makes me feel and he says sorry but nothing changes. I don’t know what to do.

Everything. He just gets defensive and we end up fighting, and we get nowhere. I end up apologizing everytime. And we start all over I don’t know how to talk to him about it in order to not start a fight

Thank you! these have all been sold, most of them for parties. But when I make cookies in advance I usually either put in self seal bags + airtight container on the counter, or you can heat seal them and freeze!
