Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- 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
- I’ve done the weekend-off thing and the week-off thing, but I just white-knuckle and count down till I can have it back
- Once the hard thing is over I just want to bury it and never think about it again
- There was one moment when I needed them most
- When it gets too intense I just shut down and walk off to cool down
