What happened was before her mom moved in I was in the master bedroom. My wife was downstairs and her son would sometimes sleep in his own room. Once her mom moved in she took my bed and I slept on the couch. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t sleep in my stepson’s room. I think it was because I didn’t want to as it’s his space. I suppose I could have had I wanted to.

I know there was a lack of communication. My wife is very independent and does have trouble communicating. She is more dismissive avoidant type whereas I’m anxious pre occupied and this is where my “neediness” shows up.  I’ve done some reading on these styles and a lot of it makes sense into the dynamics of the relationship.

Im just hurt and thought we could still see one another and we did up until her mom moved in. I’m trying to find some peace within myself but it’s not easy.
