And that’s basically how I feel when I’m around her. I don’t share who I am freely since undoubtedly, she’ll act like she has a penis and put me down. Hell no. It’s all a mask she wears, but why would I want to be around anyone like that? I don’t.
I try to win, and it breeds hostility between us. A lose/lose deal. And not something I wish to keep “trying” for. It’s sad for me since …it’s not safe to love her.
Frick. I think I choose to have unavailable women in my life. Healthy women emote, share without fear, trust (wow–what a concept) and it’s actually kind of scary for me when a woman doesn’t have such limitations. (they don’t match mine)
I think I’m feeding the dragon blood monster by spitting out my maladaptations. I’ll credit @Simon for that one. It seemed to be working while doing that on st1 of EOG.
