Dear Tiny:

I didn’t understand the text you quoted, the one he sent you yesterday after you texted him a reply regarding your choice of wine. But what I do understand is that for a long time in the relationship, the two  of you worked as a team, working together against your anxiety (“he always makes time for me, calls me, if my anxiety is  bad he’s there for me. I do the same for him. We communicate well, laugh together”).

But lately, you started working against him, instead of against your anxiety.. sort of teaming up with your anxiety against him (“We got into our first fight.. he still seemed annoyed with me.. I tend to pull back when I get super anxious and I don’t want to push him away”)-

How about going back to working with him, not against him, teaming up against your anxiety?
