Dear Missjennacole”

You wrote on a previous post on this thread regarding your relationship with your ex boyfriend: “I think things started to fall apart when he got emotional. He cried once…” You wrote above about your parents: “I can’t recall often my parent showing soft emotions..”

You wrote in the previous post how it was different with your boyfriend, that you had a stronger connection with him than with any other romantic partner in the past because he was more assertive than the others, more decisive (I can’t quote you because it is on page one of this thread). About your parents you wrote before that they were/ are strong willed in your past post you wrote: “My family both had strong opinions about things. (There wasn’t a lot of room for negotiation.)”

You also wrote before that they fought, there were shouting, a lot, I think you wrote. In your last post you wrote that their fighting didn’t bother you at all when you were a child.

I have thoughts about all the points I listed here, in this post. Do you have a feel as to what my points may be?

* You wrote that your parents did not show soft feelings because it was a “weird time”- I wonder what you meant by “weird time”?
