Dear Jenny Lynn:

The problem with living with Glenn is how he deals with conflicts. When there is conflict, he goes to war. His war includes withdrawing, staying away, the silent treatment, taking off the curtains and persisting in these ways day in and day out, on and on.

As a result your distress grows. At times you are fine, but over time, your distress grows until you have to have a relief- either giving in to him or moving out.

Do you agree, and if so, do you think that he expects you to give in or do you think he wants to separate?
