I’m glad your going to couples counseling, that’s a big step and should be proof to you that he is invested in your relationship fully.

I’m my marriage I am the one that needs alone time. It has taken time for my husband to understand that yes sometimes there is a reason I need it due to a disagreement or whatever but more often it’s my Bipolar.

Some days I just get wrapped up in my own head.

I also hate having a confrontation when we have very different opinions about a situation. This is where Therapy is going to help you as a couple, but because you struggle with being needy clingy and wondering if things will work out and being overly chatty when he needs his time.

. I think it would be wise also to see a Therapist on your own to work on your self , self esteem and self worth along with learning to self soothe on your own.

I’m sure with hard work you will both find a better understanding about each other and have a healthier relationship.
