(((LT))) I'm not experiencing this anymore, but when I was the injured party and he was blowing me off, ignored me, or acted as if nothing had happened, I would truly snap. My anger was out of proportion to the original fight, because now I was angry at being ignored or made to feel as if I didn't matter. It turned into a horrible cycle of misery and didn't appear to have an end. If he ever took responsibility for his part of the original argument and if he ever showed any concern for my tears or fears then maybe that anger would have never erupted.
I finally did stop letting myself get upset, but it was because I stopped expecting anything from him and I stopped caring whether or not he was appreciating me. I stopped loving him and trying to please him and expecting him to be present in our relationship.
I'm certain you don't want to live that way and I'm certain you are in therapy to help you deal with this situation. I wish I could make it easier!
(((LG))) I had no idea about your struggles early in your marriage. I'm glad things changed for the better!
