Hi. I'm new here and trying to figure things out. Therapy is all fun and games and I don't mind sharing my stories with the woman while she analyzes my past etc etc, but figuring out part of the problem 33 years into life and 12 years into marriage has done nothing for me besides scare the hell out of my husband.
I made a less than great choice a few months back that set this discovery in motion. My relationship is struggling now and the lack of caring side is winning and I'm struggling to bring back that "normal" more emotional version of me my husband has always known-does that make sense? Anyone have advice?
Thanks!
Our partner

Hey Afallenjae,
I couldn't tell from what you wrote -
Did you mean you want to rewind to the prior 'normal' for you, for him, both?

Essentially, I want to rewind my brain like 6 months so I can just keep up our normal life, mostly for the kids sake really. I don't want to get divorced and ruin their lives. If it was just us, ending it wouldn't be so complicated, but ending it now messes things up for our kids. And I do love him.
I'm not disillusioned, I know how good of a life I have with him, he is an amazing guy and you can't ask more from someone....and yet, of course, enough is never enough for me. I don't know how to explain it, its all overwhelming.
Looking for advice on how to make a relationship work when it seems near impossible, when your mental state just isn't on board.

Ah I don't know how to go backwards, but can write I appreciated the HPD woman in my life more when she was growing vs just the same (old) pattern.
