EM I totally relate to you. I'm going through a similar thing with my T and finding it really painful. The most adult and rational part of me is constantly needing to remind myself that she's only human and has blind spots and is prone to messing up as we all are, while the neediest part of me is ready to give up on her for neglecting me so badly. I find it shreds me to talk about it with her partly because her confidence in the strength of our relationship or her knowledge of me makes her less on her game, less anxious, less focussed, less attentive, than she was when we didn't know each other as well.

The other strange thing is that my inner dialogue tells me that it's my rational part wanting to leave. My detatch part is very good at appearing rational and balanced. I suppose that's how I managed to be a little adult when I was small. Trouble is, it makes it too easy to follow the detach part when I can't differentiate between that and a rational part.
