    I absolutely love questions like this! My wife absolutely hates them. She often gets irritated when people ask questions about what you think.

    Like when our therapist asked her “How do you think your actions contribute to your own unhappiness?”

      “How do you feel about being to blame for your problems and relationship difficulties?”

      “Um… >:-(”

      “See, you never like it when I ask about your feelings!”

        I just went with forgoing my own self care and losing my sense of self in pursuit of meeting her ever changing expectations instead of acknowledging if come to define myself be the relationship. Not sure which is better…

        Not to worry though, the papers are in the mail!

          Ah, sorry to hear that. It’s a tough barrier to break, when a partnership is like that. I wish you the best in the future.

      I feel like you wrote another six paragraphs about all the reasons why she asked your wife that specific question before deleting it all… I feel that feels.
