Do you have things you aspire to do outside of your partner?
We were never that sort of healthy couple. We thought we were for years but in hindsight I believe we were suffocating each other with love and codependency. We definitely have changed in the marriage. Right now I am trying to find peace and heal and decide on what I want to do with my life as an individual. I really hope that he does the same for himself. He’s always at home though, he’s just an introverted homebody of sorts. I can’t exactly force him to have individual pursuits.
