Re: Relationship trust issues

Thanks M,

I think you're absolutely right... I am definitely taking way too much responsibility for making our relationship work. I also agree that his actions are a form of escapism... though from what exactly, I am not sure. You suggested "his own issues," and I think you're right, but could you help clarify what kind of issues you think they might be? I'm not certain if you mean relationship/communication issues, or personal issues (like insecurity, etc.), and I don't have enough knowledge about this sort of thing to know if these personal issues could manifest themselves in this way.

In regards to the counseling... I have not proposed anything like this at all. Though the relationship is serious, we are still quite young (I am only 20, he is 22), so it seems almost inappropriate. While I think it would helpful, I guess it seems like if it takes that much work to make our relationship work at THIS age, maybe it isn't worth out time. What do you think? Or do you have any alternate approaches in light of this information?

Thanks for responding! It gives me much to think about. Tweet
