That is so not fair though! I get it and I get why BUT it is sooo not cool.
This is a big current problem Im having. I have big problems with intimacy...a large FEAR of it. I want it but I run from it. Ive been terrified of getting attached to her and she knows it. I fight it. I want it...but I pull back really hard whenever the intensity of it creeps up too much. She's always been really good at responding to that. Telling me its ok and normal. We've been talking about my mom alot lately (she was very emotionally unavailable growing up) and I sucked it up and told T the she reminds me of what i wish my mom could've been. She responded exactly how I thought she would but I got all weird and distant and defensive right away. ?????? And now it feels all weird between us. She said im acting unattached and I think she seems distant and off. Ugh. Intimacy and attachment are sucking the life out of me.
