(So much for being "done" with therapy. I can be such an idiot.  )

Not at all! The challenge is to learn to talk about it without upsetting each other too much. I personally find it hard to take the emotion out of the hard conversations. I haven't been half of a couple for a million years, but I always felt like my partner would eventually slack off then I'd have all of this tension built up. Then I'd have to find a "nice" way of saying "…a little help here??"
