Part of the suffocation, I am thinking, is a felt inability to express irritation with him.

No wonder you don't feel like having sex under these conditions.

I am thinking, also, that a concern might be that kids will give rise to the same sorts of feelings: the fear that kids will take over your life, leave nothing for you, and generate guilt if you ever try to do something for yourself.

What do you think of the above?
I think that makes a lot of sense. But with that in mind what are my options. Am i to be like my mother and have no serious long term companions for the rest of my life and only animals as company?
Thanks for this!
