Thank you so much for responding! I really appreciate your insights. I think you’re right about him being unreliable, especially emotionally, at points during our relationship. It was difficult to communicate my feelings to him at times and sometimes he would be understanding but other times he would be annoyed if I wasn’t over something that we had already discussed. I guess I just worry that I was too needy and needed to talk through my concerns too much or exhibited signs of jealousy that just pushed him away. I also felt like I wasn’t patient enough after a while with his process of getting over his marriage to his ex-wife, and it became harder to hear his feelings about her and their marriage without becoming resentful. I never became outwardly annoyed or angry with him about what he was going through, but while I was very patient and listened to all of his issues in the beginning, closer to the end it was harder for me to be supportive. At the same time, I don’t think that he ever asked me much about my feelings about my relationship with him or wondered about my emotional well-being. Maybe I should’ve been more vocal about wanting that, but even when I did bring that up a couple times there wasn’t much of a change. I’m not sure if I should’ve just been more relaxed and gone with the flow of things though overall, and just been happy with being with him. Thanks again for your thoughts–please share more if you have further insights!! Thank you for your time!
