"You know, I just haven't been feeling right since _________ and it is really affecting me emotionally. I'm having a hard time feeling close to anyone. It might take a bit to understand this. In the meantime can we ___________"

Does that sound like a conversation you can have?

I ocassionally get really iritated by things - the attacks and people's attitude to the refugee crisis are examples. When I am in a snit I'm afraid I don't feel very romantic. But, such feelings don't last very long. Often the support of my BF would actually bring me out of such a snit. When I DO come out of it I usually feel more than just romantic.
