Anita, thanks for your feedback. It’s hard for me to find a way of putting limits on venting, because I feel like thats what couples do… they share their feelings with eachother, and in other words, vent.
I just think that if I try to set a boundary on that, he might take it the wrong way, and feel like he can’t express himself or be himself with me.I want him to be able to express himself, but sometimes it just becomes too much.
I’m not sure how I can phrase it in a compassionate, loving way to him.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again.
