[quote=TheBunnyWithin;2342327]I'm beginning to suspect that these ruptures happen when we're making progress. Emotions get heightened and burst out in unexpected ways.

I so totally agree with this. I went through a bad time with my T in January. I thought after six years I was never going back. And I think a lot of him - our relationship is really strong. After we talked things out, and relationship was back to normal, BOOM, core issue number one spilled out and we've been working on it ever since. Something I had never wanted to talk about or face before. So yeah, sometimes I think subconsciously we yell and holler and pick fights right before the important work begins.

So, good luck, hang in, it does get better
