Hi,

I'm just looking to get someone else's perspective on this. I feel like a horrible person for admitting this, but I used to find it very frustrating when my ex wouldn't want to spend time with my family. He was always kind to my family when he saw them, but I always felt the strain when he had to be with them for long periods of time. I know he liked his space and I didn't understand his depression and what that meant. Has anyone else experienced this or been on my ex's side of things? I always took this personally and it has caused me a lot of anxiety! After having some time for myself, I realize how disconnected I feel from my family. This is something I'm trying to work on, as well as healthy boundaries.
