Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• When I’m frustrated with my partner I genuinely struggle to remember why we’re even together
• After we fight we just let it sit for days with neither of us reaching out, and the hurt quietly piles up until I start reading even neutral things they do as another little jab
• After an awkward moment I’m convinced people will be replaying it about me for weeks
• I thought I’d let it go, and then weeks later the old anger floods back out of nowhere
• I feel the jealousy or the hurt and then immediately pile on a second layer of "I shouldn’t feel this, a mature person wouldn’t"
